Radical Healing: Bringing Beloved Community to Fruition on Campus
Abstract:
The Multicultural Mental Health & Equity Initiative, founded on French and Colleagues’ radical healing framework, provided restorative, community-level interventions to address the deleterious impacts of the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and racial injustice on BIPOC students. The initiative’s success underscores the need for campuses to allocate resources to healing approaches that go beyond individual-level coping to address inequities in health service delivery. Implications and future directions for campus wellbeing will be discussed.
