HEALING SPACES
Environmental Justice and Sustainability

Programs and Projects

Our programs are designed to address and support environmental and social justice initiatives in a fun, educational and engaging atmosphere. We accomplish this by hosting and collaborating to produce programs and events, in outdoor spaces when possible, that allows us to engage meaningfully with one another and the spaces we occupy while intentionally examining the myriad of social health determinants.

Program 1. Education and 
Awareness

​Education empowers people. It enables them to make informed decisions that lead to healthy behavior. We tailor the information to ensure that the message is relevant to the audience. We offer this education in public spaces, clinics, schools, companies and other organizations. This is an effective solution for individual and community health efforts.

Program 2. Community Engagement & Outreach

​

Community outreach helps communities function better by encouraging engagement, which  builds the solidarity around a common cause. As community members become informed about, participate in, and influence public decisions, they are inspired to development effective problem-solving skills, be a better representation of voices within the community and take accountability. We implement solution-based projects based on community feedback to resolve public health challenges, and at the same time providing a unique community building experience. Examples activities include Mental/Physical/Environmental health and wellness; Reading/Writing/Financial/Cultural literacies; Gardening/Art/
Music therapies; Family/Community connection programs AND MORE!

Program 3. Storytelling and Film

​
Storytelling is a powerful tool that can change attitudes and behavior leading to collective action.  Watch our documentary trailer.
