Healing & Wellness
About
Founded by youth for youth, Detroit Heals Detroit exists to foster healing justice for Detroit youth in which they are able to transform their pain into power. With a goal to combat trauma, we use youth-led, healing-centered engagement to combat racial and systemic trauma while simultaneously working to dismantle oppressive systems that create harm for marginalized Detroit youth. We amplify culturally-rooted trauma-informed care, wraparound services, and use transformative justice practices to help youth experiencing recurrent trauma, specifically youth aged 12 to 24. Our vision is to advance the future of BIPOC Youth-led Healing Spaces in Detroit and beyond with the overall goal of building access: Access to healing, Access to Joy, Access to liberation, and Access to new possibilities.
