✨Black History Spotlight✨

Dr. Cheryl Grills centers healing as a collective practice rooted in history, culture, and community wisdom. Her work emphasizes healing justice and reminds us that addressing trauma requires understanding both individual experiences and shared historical harm.

This approach aligns with broader conversations in Black mental health that name history while also affirming pathways to healing and restoration.
