Wisdom through Community Connections.
Did you know that a group of owls is called a “wisdom”?
When we engage with our community, we can tap into a collective consciousness to learn from one another’s wisdom. It is through these community connections that we recognize that our lived experiences are often shared, and that we are not alone.
Decolonizing Mental Health (Training)
This training, designed for therapists is meant to confront and challenged the way in which we approach mental health treatment. Decolonization acknowledges that our globally accepted ways of being, believing, knowing, and doing are stem from Eurocentric standards as a result of colonization and aims to challenge that notion.
Narratives of the Black Diaspora
For many individuals, their ethnicity colors the way they view themselves, and in turn interact with the world. It also colors the way in which they interact with the mental health world: from a lens of stigma, a spiritual lens and/or a medicalization of the human experience.
Through this discussion, providers will better understand the protective factors and resilience that is possible as we utilize a narrative approach to help support healing.
