Supporting families in our community with compassionate care.
Who We Are
Who we Are
Kind Minds Family Wellness (KMFW) is an organization in the Kitchener-Waterloo region that provides culturally informed support to the Black community. KMFW specializes in Afrocentric/culturally grounded counseling, education, and research advocacy that addresses anti-Black racism and systemic oppression.
We aim to foster Black community empowerment/ resilience, community services navigation supports, and the design and delivery of culturally suitable educational programs and groups for children, youth, caregivers/adults, and seniors. We are committed to reaching out and providing culturally-informed educational workshops and training to service providers to marginalized (specifically Black-identifying) and equity-deserving groups within the community.
Our collaborations with organizations providing core outreach support and programs to residents in the Region and surrounding area are solidified through partnerships. Through such cooperation, we also foster a culturally protected and positive space that encourages and respects the perspectives and feedback of their Black-identifying service recipients.
