About BMAT

BMAT (Black Mental Wellness App Tool) is built to feel welcoming: daily check-ins, trusted screenings, and care ideas that meet you where you are—not a cold dashboard.

Daily rhythm PHQ-9 & GAD-7 Your care plan Your data, your pace

The Warren Model

BMAT relies on the Warren Model, which was developed by Dr. Rosalyn Warren Avant, a professional with more than 20 years of experience.

The Warren Model is the content, the research, and the material that connects BMAT to African American women between the ages of 39–59.
