Meet Simone
Mental Health Consultant, TAIBU Community Health Centre
“The IMARA Project addresses Black youth mental health in a ground-breaking project that helps break the cycle of generational trauma in the Black community. “
I’m honored to work as a mental health consultant on this project, supporting youth and program facilitators in a safe and sacred space where they can learn, grow, and heal together. This project builds awareness and brings hope in ways that mainstream mental health services have yet to successfully do.
By centring on youth voices and voices of the Black community, I believe this will take us from just surviving to thriving by improving our community’s mental wellness.
