Building bridges across disciplines for transformative, liberatory, and holistic mental health research and practice
It’s time to reconsider all we think we know about mental health. Our current model keeps us more distressed, over-medicalized, under-resourced, chronically ill and does not address the multiple complex roots of mental health concerns. Health is inseparable from our lived experiences, ancestral history, whole-body physiology, neurobiology, systemic oppression, spirituality & meaning-making, and more. Shifting the paradigm requires cross-disciplinary collaboration between professionals, activists, and those with lived experience.

“Jaz is a blessing—to the world, to all those she touches, and to me. She uses both her gifts and story as tools of guidance, bringing me toward my inner, deeper, and higher self. I’ve been on a quest for healing my entire life, but didn’t always know it. And while I’ve had fruitful experiences in many different forms of care—nothing has had quite the transformative impact that spiritual work has.”
