Black Men's Collective Care Circles

The Black Healing Centre’s Collective Care Circles are culturally competent Black-led multilingual psychosocial support groups for the Black community of Tio’tia:ke (Montreal). Our Collective Care Circles provide a weekly caring and supportive space that focus on deep listening, storytelling and communal care. The groups focus on learning skills with the intention of managing anxiety, depression and trauma in the body.

The purpose of Black Men's Collective Care Circles is to nurture resilience and honour the experiences and aspirations of participants. Through sharing, introspection, visualisation and role-playing, we will connect to our vulnerability and dreams. In doing so, we will experience healing, self-esteem and hope.

The sessions will be led by our facilitator Koffi. "Koffi", as everyone calls him, is passionate about people. Specialized in relational intelligence and resilience (Non Violent Communication, mediation, Solution Focused Brief Therapy) he has 12 years of experience in intervention and animation with youth and their families. Certified trainer by the Mental Health Commission of Canada, he regularly intervenes as a family consultant and mediator. Koffi preaches by example, the healing power of the approaches he shares, he has experienced them himself in his personal life, in order to grow and be at peace after the grief and trauma he has gone through.
