Welcome to the Wellness Project
About Us
The Kujenga Family Wellness Project is a grassroots organization, funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation and dedicated to rebuilding and restoring the lives of Black people in Ontario.
Through our support services and educational workshops, Kujenga thrives to cultivate supportive and loving family systems, guide families to heal from trauma, and strengthen community relationships.
Since 2019, Kujenga has facilitated many educational workshops and webinars geared to supporting parents with a range of issues and challenges they may encounter. On a closer level, Kujenga provides one to one outreach and support services for parents who need additional support.

Workshops

Family Outreach Support
Black families, parents, caregivers, and guardians want their loved ones to thrive in happiness, peace, and success. We create safe, loving spaces where our children, grandchildren, and community youth feel valued, loved, and worthy.
Restoration Co-Parenting Program
Supporting families affected by conflict, child welfare, and trauma, our group program helps Black parents rebuild, develop healthy coping strategies, support their children, and foster harmony and peace.
Parent Enhancement Program
Kujenga seeks to build parent’s (caregivers and guardians) capacity to create a healthy, successful village to raise and build their children and families.
