The Odyssey Initiative

Transforming Mental Health Care for Black TGNC & Intersex Houstonians

What is the Odyssey Initiative?

The Odyssey Initiative is a collaboration between The Mahogany Project, the Hogg Foundation, and local counselors to provide accessible, affordable, and culturally competent mental health care to Black trans, gender non-conforming, and intersex people in the Houston area.

The initiative aims to:

  • make it easier for community members to access mental health services,

  • create partnerships that connect people with trusted wellness professionals,

  • offer therapy options that fit everyone’s budget, including free sessions for those who need it most,

  • make sure no one is left out, regardless of their insurance status.

This work wouldn’t be possible without the support of incredible organizations like the Hogg Foundation.

We’re proud to stand alongside local therapists and community partners who believe in this mission. Together, we want to reshape how future mental health professionals work with TGNCI communities.
