Our Healing-Centered framework helps practitioners by providing tools and resources to place racial equity at the forefront of community-based work.
This framework provides community development organizations with a tangible, practical understanding of what healing-centered community development is, why it matters, and how to do it successfully. Through this work, we:
- Create awareness and build capacity to apply the healing-centered framework through tools and resources
- Increase healing-centered practices across community development by providing training and peer-learning opportunities
- Foster a culture of healing by connecting communities and networks who are committed to applying a healing-centered approach together
Our Impact
By centering culture and healing, our activities are designed to advance a future in which:
- Individuals in the community are supported and can collectively heal from deep historical and ongoing disinvestment and racism
- Trust and community healing for residents is fostered intentionally
- Residents and practitioners experience increased levels of agency and wellbeing
