Health & Wellness Programming

Creative Justice’s Health and Wellness program is led by Shelagh Brown (Health and Wellness Director), Veronica Johanson-Faison (Community Care Director) and Coach/Artist Darnel Hill.

The program provides monthly Health and Wellness workshops focused on issues and needs identified by Creative Justice youth such as mental health, substance use, know your rights, relationships and boundaries, and financial wellness.

Additionally, Coach Hill facilitates weekly community fitness and wellness training sessions; where participants learn boxing fundamentals and basic health and fitness tools to help inform their personal health, wellness and fitness journeys.
