🖤 Juneteenth: Honoring Freedom, Healing, and Liberation 🖤
Juneteenth is not only a celebration of emancipation—it’s a call to remember the ongoing work of decolonization, healing, and liberation.
As therapists, we recognize that the legacy of slavery and systemic racism continues to shape the mental health of Black communities. True healing requires more than individual coping—it requires collective truth-telling, rest, resistance, and the dismantling of oppressive systems.
❤Mental health care must be decolonized.
🖤It must affirm Black lives.
💚It must hold space for both grief and joy, trauma and resilience.
Today, we honor the strength and wisdom of Black communities. We commit to listening, unlearning, and holding space for liberation in all its forms.
