Reclaiming Wellness is a mental health spotlight series that offers participants an interactive experience on topics such as movement, creative wellness, understanding grief and trauma, and more!

Gloria was a participant in one of our Reclaiming Wellness sessions and her quote shows exactly why we created this series: to empower people with the tools they need to manage their mental health better and lead healthier lives.

Next Thursday at 5:30 PM, our Reclaiming Wellness series returns to Rafiki Coalition with "Food for Thought: The Connection Between Diet and Mental Health," led by Karter Louis.

Karter Louis is a restaurateur, entrepreneur, and nationally recognized food systems advocate who will educate you on the connection between what we eat and our mental health, as well as give you the tools to develop healthier eating habits.

This quote gets to the heart of what a community-centered organization Rafiki Coalition is. We see people not just as people but as family. And the people who come to Rafiki naturally build bonds with our staff and return for more free, culturally affirming care.

Rafiki Coalition is truly the Black community’s friend in health and wellness. Our impact is not only in the health and wellness programs and services we provide but also in our ability to connect with, relate to, and uplift our community members. We’ve been serving the community for 40 years and look forward to serving it for 40 more!

That’s why we’re celebrating this milestone with a 40th Anniversary Summer Soirée and we encourage you all to join us in celebrating four decades of community healing.
