Community development practitioners work within systems of perpetual racial trauma, contributing to a rise in empathy-fatigue and increased professional burnout.
Our programs explore healing for both practitioner and communities by providing tools and resources that place racial equity at the forefront of community-based work. A healing-centered approach creates awareness and builds capacity, provides training and peer-learning opportunities, and sustains networks that expand the field of practice and will have lasting impact for generations.
Together with our partners, we are building a future that supports community members and practitioners so they can collectively heal from deep historical, structural and ongoing disinvestment. By cultivating healing-based practices, we help to increase levels of well-being across communities.
