Racial Disparities in Behavioral Health Care Grant
Women of Colors (WOC) played an essential role in advancing and showcasing research related to the Racial Disparities in Behavioral Health Care Grant.
Our involvement brought invaluable insight, shaped by personal and collective experiences, to highlight the urgent need for addressing these disparities. By leading research projects, analyzing data, and advocating for policy change, WOC ensured that findings were grounded in cultural understanding and resonate with affected communities. Our contributions to this research help bridge gaps in care, create awareness of systemic challenges, and inspire solutions that promote equity and culturally competent practices within behavioral health care.
✨WOC Spotlight✨
Meet Christina!
Christina Cousins is a Wellness Advocate with Women of Colors embedded at MyMichigan Health Center in Saginaw. She is also a Recovery Coach and a State-Certified Peer Support Specialist (CPSS). She brings a rare combination of professional expertise and firsthand understanding of the challenges people face when life feels like it’s falling apart. Her work centers on screening, interventions, referrals, and education—always with empathy, honesty, and a commitment to meeting people exactly where they are.
Christina approaches recovery and wellness not as abstract concepts, but as lived experience, guiding others with authenticity, humor, and a sense of possibility even when the road feels impossible. She believes in the power of showing up, small victories, and creating a life worth choosing—even when it’s messy, chaotic, and sometimes wildly unpredictable.
Outside of work, Christina celebrates growth, resilience, and the family she’s built along the way—people who support her unconditionally and inspire her to give back daily. She loves learning and creative writing, hobbies that challenge her mind and allow her to express herself. Christina champions recovery as a journey of continuous self-discovery, learning, and helping others find their own path to wellness.
