Welcome to the community of Intersectional Healing

This site promotes resources everyone, especially for the queer and BIPOC community members. When we talk about health, we cannot shy away from the other attributes that intersect to maintain our well being. As mental, physical, and emotional health are the big topics in western medicine, there are so many other aspects of life that contribute to our existence. This intersectional healing includes other marginalized communities; catering to handicapable, neurodivergent, environmental salvation, socioeconomic status, and higher education platforms.

Mental Health

Mental health focuses on aspects from cognition to social and emotional health, there is an interconnected healing process to maintain our well being. Mental health services and spaces will be listed in the subsection of intersectional healing.

Physical Health

When we think of physical health, we usually think of dieticians and exercise. Although these are extremely important, this site provides various elements that lead into alternative healing. From massage therapy to acupuncture, foraging, and reiki; there are so many modalities that can intersect from physical health. Along with mental health, physical health is not only working out, but having access to gender affirming care and various healing modalities.
