🌱 Our collective mental health is important. So, the ‘Finding Oneself: A New Pathway to Queer Healing from Within’ session, under the Resilience and Healing track at the Conference, will share community-based approaches to healing trauma and fostering wellness, and offer strategies for trauma-informed care and peer support within queer communities.

It features a short presentation on mental health and trauma-informed care centred on LGBTQIA+ youth in West Africa, drawing from studies and experiences in Ghana and Nigeria, followed by a roundtable on diverse healing experiences and approaches to wellness. The space also includes a healing ritual grounded in connection and release, and an affirmative art therapy activity inviting self-love, resilience and acceptance through creativity.

Don’t miss it! Full details on Whova.

🌱 Notre santé mentale collective est importante. Ainsi, la session « Se trouver soi-même : une nouvelle voie vers la guérison queer de l'intérieur », dans le cadre du volet « Résilience et guérison » de la conférence, présentera des approches communautaires pour guérir les traumatismes et favoriser le bien-être, et proposera des stratégies pour des soins tenant compte des traumatismes et le soutien par les pairs au sein des communautés queer.

Elle comprendra une brève présentation sur la santé mentale et les soins tenant compte des traumatismes chez les jeunes LGBTQIA+ en Afrique de l'Ouest, s'appuyant sur des études et des expériences menées au Ghana et au Nigeria, suivie d'une table ronde sur diverses expériences de guérison et approches du bien-être. L'espace comprendra également un rituel de guérison fondé sur la connexion et la libération, ainsi qu'une activité d'art-thérapie affirmative invitant à l'amour de soi, à la résilience et à l'acceptation par la créativité.

Solidarity without funding = symbolism.

Feminist organisations who are also leading survivor support receive less than 1% of international funding.

Our solidarity must come with sustained funding.
