In this interactive presentation, I will introduce a model of radical healing, which is a dynamic, culturally grounded process anchored in five interrelated capacities: critical consciousness; cultural authenticity and self-knowledge; collective identity and social support; strength and resistance; and radical hope and future orientation. We will explore how joy operates alongside radical hope to promote personal and collective wellbeing.
