Today in the Health Justice newsletter, we consider the power of restorative spaces, and what happens when we don’t have access to them. First, NPQ Creative Director Devyn Taylor explores how applying the Restorative Container Framework of interior design to healthcare settings can improve the experiences of BIPOC people. Next, Staff Writer Rebekah Barber reports on the recent decision by the Department of Justice to pull funding from community violence intervention programs and the repercussions for community safety. Then, from contributor Cinnamon Janzer, a look at how people who are unhoused are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of the climate crisis—and how climate change puts more people at risk of losing their homes. And finally, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Check out our recommended reading from the NPQ archives.
