His talk Radical Healing After Violence: Empowered to Rise will focus on how the Psychology of Radical Healing Framework can be applied to help communities suffering from hate-based violence on verbal, physical and policy levels, and how allies can mindfully support those with intersectional/minoritized identities who are in the crosshairs.
