Decolonizing mental health: The importance of an oppression-focused mental health system by Karina Zapata
Reporting on the People, Issues, and Events that Shape our City - Calgary Journal Community Newspaper

“I think that what has happened in the last 20 or 30 years is that many people of colour have started to just try to survive, understandably,” says Mullan. “The system is really good at having us just focus on surviving so much that we don’t have the time to collectively come together and heal in community, which I think is pretty crucial,” says Mullan.

 

Mullan says that some people need individual therapy and medication in order to thrive. However, she would like to see more collective, holistic healing approaches to mental health as options — the way they were done, and successfully worked, before colonization.

Just another Unremarkable White Dude in Tech.

Keeping notes on things I learn. Writing to think. It’s a mess, but it’s my mess.
