Abolition in Practice Group: Holding space for grief – exploring rage, fear and numbness

This is a free, monthly, online, peer-led space for Black People and People of Colour * collectively working toward mental health justice, racial justice, and abolition—whether through activism, advocacy, peer support, or community care. Grounded in intentional peer support principles, it’s a space for connection, reflection, and learning outside of harmful systems. 

The theme of this workshop is: Exploring rage, fear and numbness. How do we make space for grief in our movements? A look at how to care for each other in fighting against power structures that manifest in loss and pain for our communities.

Optional resources:  Bayo Akomolafe, Prentis Hemphill podcast and Tending Grief by Camille Sapara Barton
