“You cannot change what you refuse to confront.”
At CAICC, we believe that emotional and mental wellness should not be ignored. Mental and Emotional healing begins with a single step, a helping hand, and the strength of community. This September, the Colorado African Innovation and Cultural Center (CAICC) will officially launch the Free Youth Wellness and Mental Health Program, open to young people ages 8–26.
We’ve already seen the impact of this work. Recently, during our Young Tech Program, Licensed Professional Counselor Rachel led a powerful mental health workshop with more than 30 students from 5th–12th grade. Together, they spoke openly about challenges with school, friendships, and daily stressors that often steal their peace of mind. Rachel shared practical tools, activities, and personal insights, using both visuals and storytelling to help students recognize their struggles and learn healthier ways to manage them.
Our goal at the Youth Wellness and Resilience Program is to create a safe space where young people can confront what weighs them down and learn to rise stronger.
Building Resilience Through Wellness, One Youth at a Time
The Youth Wellness and Resilience Program fosters a community where youths can thrive, acknowledge their struggles, and find ways to move beyond them. The program is structured to provide therapeutic support and psychoeducation. This initiative was designed to help African Americans, African immigrants and refugee youth tackle substance abuse, mental health challenges, stress and traumas, to help them grow in a sustainable environment.
Here’s what participants can look forward to:
Free Therapy Sessions – Individual and group therapy with licensed, culturally matched providers (minimum six subsidised sessions).
Family Resilience Workshops – Quarterly sessions, support groups, and family therapy that strengthen bonds.
Psychoeducation – Workshops on trauma, emotion regulation, and coping strategies.
Why Join?
Our Youths do not have to wait any longer to find the help they need. Our Free Wellness program provides a safe space where those who feel unseen can finally be seen, connect, and grow beyond their struggle and pain. Let's give our youths a chance at the real prize. Their Wellness is wealth, and they deserve it.
