Cultural Resilience & Mental Health: Living Brown, Living Well

  • Institute of Chicana/o/x Psychology & Community Wellness TX United States (map)

What does Raza wellbeing really look like?

Join us for an online community workshop focused on the strengths, wisdom, and healing practices already living in our community. This workshop draws from Chicana/o/x Psychology to challenge and decolonize ideas of “wellness” that often leave our people out.

Together, we’ll examine how culturally rooted practices and ancestral wisdom help decolonize dominant models of “wellness” that often exclude Chicanx communities. Participants will reflect on cultural strengths that support mental health while challenging harmful stereotypes that portray Chicana/o/x culture as unhealthy. 

Our culture is not the problem.

We’ll name the real sources of unwellness—systemic oppression, marginalization, and historical trauma—and honor the power of our culture as a path toward healing.

We will engage in small group discussions and interactive activities as we explore how our cultural values are a foundation of individual and collective resilience and wellbeing. 

Our culture is ancient, resilient, and powerful.

✨ We can live brown and live well.

Join us on March 28th for a conversation about Raza resilience, mental, healing, and community liberation.
