Client testimonials
"I reached out to Sista Afya Community Mental Wellness for a young lady that I have been asked to mentor. After meeting with her I immediately realized that she would need additional support. I looked online and found this center! It seems a perfect fit and I contacted the team. I was more than pleasantly surprised that I heard back from one of the team members within an hour! She qualified my interest and I have now referred my mentee to the center for application."
