Beyond Survival Disability Justice & Chronic Pain

Beyond Survival: Disability Justice & Chronic Pain is a therapeutic space for disabled & chronically ill people navigating pain, trauma, & mental health in the context of capitalism, & systemic oppression. Grounded in disability justice, & decolonial healing practices, this program centers those most impacted — queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, & other marginalized identities. We reject the idea that disability or pain must be “fixed” to be worthy & honor these experiences as deeply valid & political. Through somatic practices, peer connection, & liberatory mental health approaches, participants are supported in imagining healing beyond medicalized, ableist, & cisheteronormative frameworks. A space for rest, resistance, solidarity, & reimagining what wellness looks like — together.
