I am Juanita Banks-Whittington, the founder of Nehi Cares. My journey has been shaped by my diverse experiences as an Army Veteran, Social Worker, Wellness and Diversity Practitioner, award-winning children's book author, wife, and mother. With a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Baltimore and a Master of Social Work in Mental Health from the University of Maryland Baltimore, I have dedicated my career to promoting mental health, wellness, diversity, and inclusivity.

​

Nehi Cares is inspired by a remarkable woman, my grandmother, Nehi. She was a caring and loving individual who was always willing to help anyone in need. Her influence shaped me into the compassionate person I am today. I named my company Nehi Cares to honor her memory and continue her legacy of kindness and compassion.

​

At Nehi Cares, we offer a range of workshops, resources, and mentorship programs designed to support individuals and organizations in achieving holistic well-being. Our programs are centered around the 8 Dimensions of Wellness: emotional, physical, financial, social, occupational, environmental, intellectual, and spiritual. We believe that by addressing all aspects of wellness, we can help people lead more balanced and fulfilling lives.​

​

Our workshops provide a safe space for self-expression, personal growth, and community building. Whether you are a teen exploring your identity, a professional seeking career guidance, or an organization aiming to foster inclusivity, Nehi Cares is here to support you every step of the way.

Join us on this journey towards wellness and discover the transformative power of caring for yourself and others. Together, we can create a healthier, happier, and more inclusive world.
