African Community Wellness Initiative

Another great Thursday night with our youth! This spring we are discovering together that doing our wellness work doesn't have to be boring. We get to enjoy some pizza dinner with our peers, check in and share back on our weekly progress, and fill out our personal wellness tracking tool! We're so excited to be on this wellness journey!

We're so EXCITED for our ACWI youth who have an awesome opportunity this spring to promote their own wellness as part of the Black Youth Mental Wellness Circle!

ACWI's Seven Wellness Goals is a great tool for youth who want to grow in various areas of wellness. The tool has been co-designed with our youth and Afrocentric Counslelling practitioners to guide our seasonal mental health circle work with youth. The tool includes an easy-to-use personal weekly tracker allowing youth to identify their own wellness goals and activities, and track their progress during the program weeks!

The Seven Wellness Goals are rooted in our understanding that youth mental wellness is deeply connected to youth wholistic wellness. We are thankful for community partners, our practitioners and mentours, parents, and all allies who are coming alongside our youth as they take this journey!

Registration for tomorrow's in-person event is full! We are looking forward to seeing everyone! If you missed the in-person registration but are still interested in participating, there is still time to register to join us online!
