Community Access for New Immigrants and African Refugees (CANIAR) and the Barbara Schneider Foundation (BSF) have joined together to host a series of community conversations on wellness in our African community and with those who are interested in working with members of our African community.   We are pleased to invite the entire community to be our guest at one of these community conversations,  to get to the heart of the matter about what’s important for wellness through responding to the whole person who may be in crisis.   Special thanks go to Brooklyn Center Police Department for their active participation.
