Educate. Advocate. Empower.
Welcome
The Crescent Initiative was born from a deep recognition of the unmet needs within the sickle cell community, particularly the often-overlooked importance of mental and emotional well-being. We envisioned a space where holistic care, including mental health support, would be central to the sickle cell journey.
"Recognizing that mental health is often overlooked in traditional sickle cell treatment plans, I established The Crescent Initiative for Sickle Cell. We believe that holistic care, including therapy, is essential for warriors to thrive, not just survive."
