Candid Conversations
Candid Conversations is a culturally rooted wellness model designed to foster deep, purposeful dialogue that moves beyound surface-level small talk. It's about creating safe, inclusive spaces where people can explore their identities, emotions, and relationships through storytelling, reflection, and connection.
Why It Matters
Candid Conversations is grounded in narrative therapy, interpersonal process, culturally responsive group work, and storytelling. It centers not on fixing, but on witnessing, honoring, and evolving through honest reflection, meaningful connection, and community-rooted healing- culminating in authentic human exchange.
How It Works
Through small groups, playful icebreakers, guided storytelling, and reflective prompts, participants engage in meaningful conversations tailored to their emotional and cultural realities. The model incorporates community agreements and grounding rituals to ensure a supportive, respectful environment.
Who It's For
Candid Conversations is designed for adults from all walks of life—especially those from communities where mental health conversations have been stigmatized or silenced. Whether you’re seeking deeper connection, exploring your identity, or simply craving a space to be seen and heard, this model offers a warm, welcoming place to grow.
