There is a need for complementary healing practices that are culturally literate and led directly by the people. Micro healing grants are small, unrestricted stipends that provide the recipient an opportunity to have space to think about their healing and enquire about healing strategies that are currently not available to them

From our Migrant Trans POC Justice programme we bring forward this piece of working on providing micro-grants designed to give autonomy and dignity to individuals and communities.

Exploring the Potential of Micro-Grants as a Pathway to Healing and Health Justice for People Living with Obesity 

From our Trans and Gender Non-Binary Health Justice Programme, we bring forward the work of Nina Rivera, who is an organiser, healer, and advocate of Trans Women's Migrant Rights. She is the recipient of our first Healing grant, where she brought together Trans Migrant Women into a space of Kinship and healing.

A report on the role nature plays in cities and the varying pathways to health and healing. It centres non-western epistemologies as guiding tools for a better, more symbiotic living with Nature.

Given how important the environmental microbiome is both to human health and planetary regulation, it is important that we begin to include it in the context of cities and urbanisation.

Languages can be a powerful tool to relate to and interconnect with the natural world. Indigenous languages––those developed by First Nations Peoples––embody a deep ecological knowledge that is critical to protecting nature. Biodiversity and Indigenous languages are undeniably intertwined.

Here we provide a brief overview of the creation of “The People’s Obesity Justice Pamphlet”.

This work aims to demonstrate the harm of the dominant, individualised, narrative of obesity. We present an alternative understanding that views obesity through a neuro-epidemiological, environmental and sociopolitical lens. This serves as an avenue for people who are experiencing obesity to understand their disease and explore potential methods of self-care, self-advocacy and safeguarding.

We are very proud and excited to launch this living wisdoms ecosystem. We are coining this term as Knowledges are alive, they evolve through interaction with culture, events, and time. This term also highlights that Indigenous Knowledges are still relevant and will always keep evolving to support our survival and healing.

These are working principles set forth by a group of Indigenous Peoples and Land-Kinned Peoples (IP & L-KP) who gathered in the UK. We see this both as a starting point and an evolving process. These principles are the first iteration, as they interact with more Peoples they will change and evolve.

There are disproportionately high rates of psychological and psychological distress and health disparities among Indigenous Peoples. That is, regardless of their geographical location or sociopolitical situation, health indicators are always poorer for Indigenous Peoples than for non Indigenous ones.

The purpose of this data led study is to bring attention to everyday people those who have the right to pollute in their neighbourhoods, so that people can make more informed decisions when it comes to voting and priorities for our shared health and climate change action points.

There is now a very clear understanding that environmental hazards, such as air pollution have a direct effect on our health. However, what is often missing from the conversation is how environmental hazards, due to being an experience of stress and trauma can lead to mental distress. In addition to the disproportionate exposure to health hazards, being aware of the injustice underlying this disproportionate exposure may be a psychosocial stressor that affects health negatively.

Trans Peoples have opened up our minds to another way of imagining our personhood, to have mental and spiritual autonomy over our beingness. Imagination and autonomy are significant and essential elements in our liberation which is rooted in our healing. This report is an introductory look at the different pathways of stress and trauma impacted Trans communities.

This report explores how healthcare, like many other systems, is under the hegemony of western society; how the body is conceptualised to how the body is restored are influenced by western norms. It explores how when we are in community, we are able to share resources, tend to each other, nourish each other - this is healing

This report explores how sex and gender are one way of conceptualising a complex ecosystem made up of multiple cells and microbes which digests, reproduces, thinks, and loves, rather than a universal truth.

This report is not intended to alarm, but to put the child to old age health trajectory into the context of planetary dysregulation and its secondary effects. Currently, children are experiencing multiple stressors or pathways of poor health; forced displacement, family separation, pollution of water, land, and air, acute weather events, malnutrition, poverty, and a global pandemic that is causing long term effects

This report provides a lived experience led insight into the inequities that put Disabled People’s health at risk further risk from climate change.

Indigenous Peoples are from all over the world and cover various and distinct cultures, languages, practices and knowledges. It is not a race nor is it a monolith. Colonisation has affected Indigenous Peoples in varied and unique ways, ripping some of us from Ancestral Lands, Peoples, and culture whilst others are currently fighting to keep their territories as colonisation continues to evolve.
