Description
Radical Healing is a psychological framework that aims to address the intergenerational trauma and systemic oppression experienced by marginalized communities. This framework is particularly relevant for working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and immigrant populations, who have been historically marginalized and impacted by systemic racism, discrimination, and oppression. Radical Healing is a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of individual, communal, and systemic healing. It acknowledges the impact of historical trauma, racism, and oppression on individuals and communities and seeks to empower individuals and communities to reclaim their power and agency.
