A Call to Flourish
As we enter our landmark 20th Anniversary year, we are proud to announce a powerful transition in Community Healing Network’s (CHN) leadership and a deepening of its alliance with the Global Circle for Reparations and Healing (GCRH).
In this milestone year, CHN is laying a new foundation for a new generation of wellness, strength, joy, and resilience. We have sharpened our focus on supporting families–the bedrock of the community–by targeting our Emotional Emancipation Circles (EECs) to children, youth, and adults. To honor this priority, we have restructured our operations to be more agile and strategic–deepening our roots locally in New Haven while spreading EECs globally through the GCRH.
Following nine months of deep listening, research, and strategic planning, we are ready to reconnect and begin embarking on this new chapter with the April 2026 relaunch of our Signature program, the Emotional Emancipation Circle. In addition, we have evolved the EEC program into an ongoing cultural practice–like a yoga practice or exercise regime–by pairing it with curated integration labs. Sign up to our newsletter, Flourishing While Black, to learn more and join the CHN village.
With immense love, gratitude, and a shared commitment to our flourishing,
Community Healing Network
