HHP works to inform and shape a vision for collective care and safety while integrating models of wellness that seek to transform and intervene on medical violence, harms, and abuses rooted in racism and capitalism. They engage individuals, communities and institutions to remember these abuses and harms by catalyzing research, action and movement-building strategies through designing: popular education tools, workshop curriculum, and engaging cohorts of healing/health practitioners who are building strategies. HHP works in solidarity with the many health and healing practitioners/workers who hold with dignity and respect the lives and communities they care for by disrupting abuses of the state.
The content of this four-part training will focus on understanding the history and present-moment impact of the Medical Industrial Complex (MIC) within the context of a healing justice framework, the context and conditions within philanthropy as relates to the MIC, and time to envision or deepen philanthropic strategies focused on transforming care to center dignity, respect and agency for all who are vulnerable and in crisis. This is an interactive series with each meeting building on the ones before and participants are strongly encouraged to attend all four sessions. Folks who are new to the MIC frame and history are very welcome to attend.
