CWS and Foundation Hope Ayiti are partnering to provide virtual Lakou Tanama healing spaces for Haitian community members in the U.S. diaspora. Lakou Tanama healing spaces are spaces for open, honest and courageous dialogue in order to heal trauma, address repair and support communities in service of social justice, peace and collective liberation. The virtual model allows for Haitians in the U.S. diaspora to connect across diverse geographies and process and support each other in Haitian Kreyól.

Lakou Tanama is an evidence-based, Haitian led and built community mental health space. The spaces hosted through the CWS and Lakou Tanama partnership are 100% free and open to Haitian community members who are 18 years or older.

If you are curious, we encourage you to come to a Lakou and experience space. The space is confidential, and you are invited to share as you feel comfortable. There are some community agreements that will be discussed at the beginning of the session.
