Mr. Duane Wiafe, MSW, RSW
Duane (Kwadwo) Wiafe is a Ghanaian-Canadian social worker of Akan heritage with over 17 years of experience in federal corrections, mental health, Africentric program development, and fitness education. Rooted in his cultural identity and community values, Duane integrates Africentric principles, trauma-informed practice, and movement-based wellness into his therapeutic and forensic work.
