For African diasporic people, isolation is a colonial inheritance. Systems have long fragmented Black families and communities—through enslavement, migration, and institutional harm. But community has always been our greatest source of healing.

Healing in community restores the circle. It allows individuals to be witnessed, supported, and uplifted by people who share their struggles and their hope.

Within a community, grief is met with empathy, and resilience is multiplied. At Sankofa, group therapy and community healing circles offer a return to collective care—reminding us that healing together is a radical act of resistance and rebirth.

In community, healing becomes both an individual awakening and a collective movement. It teaches us that our liberation is bound together, and our shared wellness is the foundation of our strength.
