The Con-Vivir Wellness Hub is a program fiscally sponsored by Allies in Caring. Con-Vivir is Spanish for "Living Well Together." The Con-Vivir Wellness Hub is a center for community health innovation in South Jersey, offering mental health and wellness programs: a space where everyone can discover their gifts and develop their skills and abilities. We offer the support and nurturing environment that enables people – including those who are often excluded - to realize their potential and contribute to their communities. Building collaborative relationships with individuals, providers, and community partners, we promote mental health equity and wellbeing for all people
Services are available in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language (ASL.)

What Does Con-Vivir
Mean For South Jersey?
Learning Well Together. A space for culturally accessible instruction in health and healing, relationships, and mindfulness, as well as low cost walk-in counseling available evenings and weekends.
Connecting Well Together. A safe place where skilled community navigators help people find the resources they need to thrive and contribute. A space that ensures access regardless of language, poverty, or disability.
Working Well Together. A space to foster the training and development of un- and under- employed South Jersey residents who wish to become behavioral health professionals and help address our area’s critical shortage of culturally-informed, Spanish-speaking and American Sign Language-fluent providers.
Thriving Well Together. A creative space where community organizations, schools, churches, and arts, cultural and service groups collaborate to help uncover the abilities and potential that lies within each person, and to help them develop new networks of support.
Where We Can Be Together. In December 2017 Allies in Caring partnered with New Jersey Community Capital to purchase a building. We now need partners to help us connect, learn & thrive at our Con-Vivir Wellness Hub.
Con-Vivir is located in downtown Hammonton, a regional hub that is easily accessible by major roads and public transportation. It is close to schools, Stockton University's Hammonton campus, stores, medical services and jobs.
Who we serve together
Con-Vivir Wellness Hub is a space of connection for the entire community to share resources. We are committed to including people isolated by poverty, language, culture, race, or conditions such as addiction, mental health challenges, deafness, or autism. We have unique expertise in serving Latino, immigrants, and families with Deaf or Hard of Hearing members, who are vital partners in building a culture of wellness and inclusion.
