COMMUNITY & SCHOOL-BASED HEALING
Community Collaborations & Healing Clinics
Freedom Community Clinic partners with organizations, institutions, and schools to provide community-based healing and school-based healing. Currently, we have 60+ ongoing and active collaborations and partnerships to bring Whole-Person Healing to the People on a satellite and pop-up basis throughout the Bay Area.
Our goal is to affirm the healing and well-being of systemically disinvested communities in the midst of unaddressed and ongoing trauma and violence.
Through our community collaborations, our services range from half-day healing clinics to trainings and consultations for healing-centered strategy to weekly education workshops for holistic healing that provide community members, students, and staff with tools, techniques, and 1-on-1 direct healing services.
