Healing, Not Thinning:
Exploring the Potential of Micro- Grants as a Pathway to Healing and Health Justice for People Living with Obesity
From our Obesity Justice programme we bring forward this piece of working on providing micro-grants designed to give autonomy and dignity to individuals and communities.
This report will show how they have emerged as an innovative approach for Centric Lab to support holistic healing pathways. We are using these grants to start shaping new methods and imaginations around community health practices.
Obesity is increasingly understood as a condition marked by the dysregulation of multiple bodily systems, with mental health, stress, and environmental factors playing a crucial but often under-recognised role.
As said by Harvey & Miller [2023], micro-grants enable recipients to take the time to identify their specific health needs unique to their lived experience, explore personalised strategies for wellbeing, and create long-term solutions in their contexts.
