AJANI-Afrocentric, Family Focused Mental Health Treatment
Ajani, which means “he who wins the struggle,” is a family-focused, strengths-based Afro-centric treatment program aimed at helping African American families thrive. The program offers individual, family, and group therapy focused on increasing the adaptive functioning of the entire family and on providing families with the skills to continue to thrive after treatment has ceased.
The Ajani Program serves African American families who live in low-income communities, suffer from mental illness, and/or are impacted by racism. Ajani helps build strong families by providing them with an understanding of how healthy families function. The Program empowers its clients, encouraging them to develop leadership skills, community and collective responsibility, and to serve as mentors for others.
