About

Our Mission

Ujima Family Recovery Services’ mission is to provide effective, family-focused services to stop generational cycles of addiction and behavioral health problems. We promote family strengths and healthy children through culturally sensitive environments and specialized evidence based services. We empower women and their families to take responsibility for their own lives and those of their children, and to become contributing, self-supporting members of the community.
