Founded in 2020, Karen’s Afro-Carib Healing Space was established in response to the need for culturally grounded, community-based mental health and wellbeing supports for children, youth, and families.
The organization is named in honour of the founder’s aunt, a dedicated community worker whose commitment to care, service, and supporting others continues to inspire the vision and values of Karen’s Space.
Rooted in Afro-Caribbean healing philosophies and community-centered practice, the organization was created to reflect the lived experiences, strengths, and needs of African, Black, Caribbean, racialized, and underserved communities.
Since its founding, Karen’s Space has grown into a healing-centered organization offering wellness programming, psychoeducation, peer support, advocacy, and community engagement initiatives that promote connection, resilience, and collective care.
