Creative Healing for Urban Members Program
The Creative Healing for Urban Members(CHUMS) Programs are designed to ensure that individuals and families are strengthened through the process of teachings that reflect both the cultural and cross-cultural issues that relate to contemporary living. Although issues will be addressed according to family needs, the primary focus of teaching will be directed to identifying strengths that assist in developing stronger coping mechanisms necessary in overcoming circumstances of urban living and in life in general.
