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 have a 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.
