Challenging Oppression in Healing Work
March 27 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm MDT
This second session in the series asks: How might we create safe and brave spaces to uplift the wisdom and leadership of historically targeted identities in healing work?
The learning objectives include:
- How to create brave and safe spaces for young people who are historically oppressed
- Teaching advocacy to young people to ensure they know their rights and how to heal through oppression
- Incorporate ways to implement healing-centered care within the workplace to work against oppression
Healing-centered care allows us to dig deeper. Join Youth and Young Adult co-leads Oriana Ides and Evelyn Clark on March 27 at 6 pm EST as they lay the groundwork and explore how healing-centered care may be integrated to the practices of YYA-serving organizations.
- Counter the impacts of vicarious trauma and burn out by creating a safe and responsive learning community for the YYA workforce to be heard and seen in their efforts to support the holistic needs of their clientele.
- Build an understanding of healing centered engagement and approaches to youth development and case management that strengthens service provision for transition-aged youth.
- Expand our organizational and individual capacity to support young adult holistic wellness, critical consciousness development, and collective healing.
This is Session 2 of 4 in the “Rooting Young Adult Mental Health Services in Culturally Sustaining Values & Practices” Series.
