Decolonizing Mental Health: Questioning the
Role of the Medical Industrial Complex
Join CLASP on July 26 from 4-5 pm ET [[link removed]] for our quarterly learning series focused on decolonizing mental health care, i.e. not relying entirely on the biomedical model and emphasizing the importance of healing-centered care. Each quarter, we host a conversation with partners in the field about the colonization of mental health systems, the key frameworks required to decolonize mental health, healing-centered programs that work, and how public policy can support these movements.
On July 26 from 4-5 pm ET , we are hosting a conversation with Cara Page like we did in 2020 [[link removed]] , this time to talk about her work on acknowledging and disrupting the medical-industrial complex. We’ll continue our conversation from the first webinar session about healing justice as a movement, and together, we’ll learn about healing practices that have worked and continue to support Black and brown populations. We’ll also talk about her latest book anthology, Healing Justice Lineages: Dreaming at the Crossroads of Liberation, Collective Care, and Safety [[link removed]] .
This webinar series is part of the Healing-Centered Liberation Policy framework [[link removed]] we launched in 2020. Healing-centered liberation policy thinks beyond what is and demands what should be. It requires new decision-making structures, acknowledges failed and abandoned policies, and recognizes both historical harms and ongoing discrimination. Because our current mental health system is steeped in historical and structural racism, we must reimagine how public policy can respond to inequity beyond our existing systems. Please join us [[link removed]] !
