Healing

Essential for Liberation

Healing is an essential first step to parenting for liberation and building Black futures that are healthy, whole and liberated. P4L’s culturally-specific and holistic family-based strategies are rooted in our belief that violence and fear-based parenting can be unlearned and replaced with a new way of being, rooted in liberation, equity, and healing.

Our Healing work includes: 

  • Care for Caregivers

  • Healing Box

  • Affirmation Deck

  • Virtual and in-person healing circles

Healing Circles

Parenting for Liberation holds space for a Black parents in-person and virtual healing in which we share about physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness as well as access Black Community healers. We curate judgment-free, inclusive space to process trauma and celebrate triumphs as a community of Black parents and caregivers. Our spaces connect parents with various Black healing practitioners sharing their healing medicines and modalities.

  • Healing is vital because there is an avalanche of negativity and minimizing of our culture, safety, needs, and well-being daily. It is exhausting but our children deserve the best and I believe they will be better off financially and mentally with both familial and community support.

  • The Affirmation Card Deck has offered me clarity and re-alignment to my values and vision, for both myself and my relationship to my kids.

  • I left [the healing circle] feeling like I absolutely wanted to do more. The opportunity to unearth my needs passed to help me learn how to do that work with my own children.

Wellness Fund for Caregivers

In the spirit of mutual aid, collective liberation, and healing justice, Parenting for Liberation’s “Care for the Caregivers," is a wellness fund for Black parents/caregivers to access virtual wellness sessions at no cost to them. 

We know that supporting Black parents and caregivers gives our children, communities and institutions a firmer foundation for sustainable wellness and interdependent care.

This fund is activated at different times throughout the year.
