About Us

Our Mission

Our Mission

Our Mission

At Healing the Academy, we are committed to empowering and liberating communities that resist systems of oppression through knowledge democracy, capacity building, and collective healing.


We believe that equitable access to knowledge, community-led solutions, and transformative healing spaces are essential for creating lasting change. By dismantling systemic barriers in health, education, and well-being, we strive to amplify the voices of marginalized communities and increase their representation in higher education, science, and medicine.


Through collaboration, advocacy, and radical inclusion, we cultivate environments where every individual regardless of identity or background can thrive, heal, and live with dignity.

Approaches

Our Mission

Our Mission

We use transformative, community-centered approaches to address health disparities, psychological trauma, and social inequities among marginalized populations. Our work is grounded in cross-sector collaboration, cultural responsive approaches, and a deep commitment to advancing health equity and community well-being.


Our approaches ensure that solutions are equitable, culturally relevant, and rooted in the lived experiences of the communities we serve.

Explore the key determinants that shape the mental health and well-being of communities, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds. 


In this video, we highlight the social, structural, and environmental factors that impact mental health, including systemic inequities, access to resources, and the importance of culturally responsive support. 

Community-based recommendations

"Continue to provide mental health services that are accessible, while ensuring that there is no negative stigma associated with receiving these services"

Recommendations to improve safety and quality of life

“Increase the size of the [Psychological Services] office and hire more staff for specific issues like LGBT+ identity... experience working with students with disabilities. There are a few clinicians... who are very good... but the demand continues to be higher than the supply"
