Working in the Emergence is messy. It's scary. It's unclear. But, we embrace this uncertainty on the path to new possibilities. In our latest blog, our CEO reflects on our approach to designing a world that prioritises #healing: www.partisanuk.org/blogs-news/working-in-the-emergence

We’re seeing a lot of racist rhetoric in the UK right now, including against refugees and asylum seekers. That feels frightening and exhausting - especially for those of us from racialised communities. Seeing this so close to home can be scary. And it can take a toll on our mental health.

What should we prioritise to centre collective healing in decision-making? If you're a #policymaker or leader, then consider the questions below. From our new blog "Working in Emergence: a beginning, not a blueprint" 👇 www.partisanuk.org/blogs-news/w... #reform #justice #healing

What speaks loudly in this report is to "tackle the root causes of mental health conditions.". Whilst we may invest in mental health reform & improved access to services, if the wider conditions that cause stress, trauma + exclusion continue in the 1st place, we will not see improvement

We've been on a little hiatus lately, winding down for the summer. As we kick this off again for Autumn, please get in touch if you're doing work that cuts across race, healing, justice and systemic change - we'd love to spotlight/re-share your activities. #Solidarity
