“Well-Play Counseling & Wellbeing Center is the manifestation of my dream to create a form of healing that combines play with psycho-education. Now with Well-Play University, I am laser-focused on fighting the stigma of therapy in communities of color-offering a platform for mental health professionals to share their knowledge in new and exciting ways”, says Williams.
All company programming and initiatives will center on the five wellness targets that include social, emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual wellness. To further diversify its program offerings.
