Mental Health and Counseling
As counselors, we are highly educated on and familiar with mental health, its cultural implications, historical taboos, impact on treatment, and individual self-talk during the process. Our counselors approach mental health through a holistic perspective that allows for the incorporation of spirituality, cognitive shifts, behavioral reinforcements, and support systems. We know and understand the impact that mental health has on an individual, sister circle, family and community; therefore our objectives are to educate all things positive about urban education, mental health and eradicate all things negative about mental illness.
Educational Consulting

We know and understand the impact that socio-economics, race, and political factors can have in building a community that is high in morale, productivity, and efficiency.

Additionally, we are highly trained in adult learning styles and ensuring that learners retain and implement training objectives and goals.
