Gain some perspective as we dig deep into the power of Meaning! How do you find meaning in your life, and how do different identities we hold play a role in how we find meaning? We will be exploring this through two separate workshops led by CAPS "Healing Justice: Holistic Self-Care During Challenging Times ".

U-M Counseling and Psychological Services will offer two workshops (“Healing Justice in the Fabric of Community” and “Healing Justice: Rediscovering Spirit” ) which focus on components of Loretta Pyles’ (2018) Healing Justice: Self-Care for Change Makers.

This Fabric of Community session will work towards defining ourselves through the health and wealth of our neighbors, community and planet. There is an emphasis on 1) healing one's community while in community; 2) community resilience; and 3) collective efficacy--the belief that neighbors or groups of citizens can change their situations and be effective in organized community action.

All students (undergraduate, graduate and professional) are invited to attend this powerful session!

To be true to healing justice, it’s vital to highlight its origins. The movement was originally created by queer folx, BIPOC, women and those with disabilities starting from the 60s with a resurgence in the late 2000s. U-M participants will learn ways of healing “a sense of brokenness or disconnection that may be a result of trauma, oppressive socio-cultural narratives and practices or the ways in which humans may lose touch with each other and themselves.”
