In a society with pervasive racism and oppression and violence towards people with marginalized identities, as clinicians we are called on to hold and internalize a healing justice framework for ourselves and with clients. This episode is an interview with Erica Woodland, the founding director of the National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network (or NQTTCN, pronounced en-cue-ten).
We discuss:
-
The founding and mission of NQTTCN
-
What healing justice is
-
How NQTTCN connects BIPOC queer and trans practitioners to one another in addition to folks seeking therapy and adjacent services
