Prince George’s County and the Boris L. Henson Foundation, founded by actress and mental health advocate Taraji P. Henson, are partnering on a $30 million Healing Arts Integrative Wellness Hub in Temple Hills, Maryland. According to the Prince George’s County Council, the county will renovate the Temple Hills Community Centre into a facility combining creative arts, wellness practices and evidence-based mental health services.

The foundation will oversee programming, including hip hop therapy, arts and yoga, and residents will be able to use the centre free of charge.
