The Center for Family Wellness formally acknowledges it is Black History Month! We know this is a time to continue to do the work and our team has been furthering our own anti-racist work behind the scenes; with particular emphasis on our identity as white female therapists and small business owners. In order to give more, The Center for Family Wellness is donating 20% of our previous quarter’s profits to three organizations whose vision and mission align with our own. We wanted to share some resources to support you in ways to learn more, give more, and do more this Black History Month.
