Health Justice

Sponsored by:

We all deserve compassion, but too few of us receive it. In “The Challenges of Seeking Care as a Neurodivergent Person,” Rosemary Richings emphasizes the avoidable obstacles neurodivergent people face in our healthcare system. Richings reminds us that with greater compassion and awareness, we can create better experiences for everyone, including neurodivergent populations. By drawing critical attention to its complex ethical implications, in “How International Adoption Is Failing Children,” Anmol Irfan complicates the assumption that international adoption is always a compassionate act. In “Sonya Massey Should Still Be Alive. What Can Be Done to Save Other Disabled People?NPQ staff writer Rebekah Barber sheds light on the continued criminalization of mental illness among Black disabled people and its grievous consequences. The Winter Health Justice issue of Nonprofit Quarterly Magazine’s call for submissions—which focuses on the duality of health innovation as an instrument of oppression and a tool for social justice—creates an opportunity to explore the relationship between health innovation and compassionate care. I hope these pieces inspire you to take positive, compassionate action, no matter how big or small.
