Kind Minds Family Wellness

Kind Minds Family Wellness (KMFW) comprises a group of Black professionals who in over 15 years have been engaged in trauma-informed work with individuals, families, and groups in various community settings, and realized that majority of Black social service users often struggle and feel overwhelmed (specifically following a life crisis) with the number of Eurocentric interventions void of cultural inclusion, which is prescribed by their service providers. Many who struggle with challenges such as health issues, language barriers, computer literacy, financial stability (or low income), social isolation, uncertain immigration status, or mental health issues are left wondering how to go about the proposed plan; which treatment, service or programs should come first, and/or work concurrently for them. Some often express wishing that something as simple as a contact with a professional who could engage their worldview and lived experiences from a culturally inclusive lens (collective approach) would ease their stressors around weaving in and out of services/systems.
