Since 2017, One Future Collective has been actively holding spaces for the communities that we work with, including book clubs and healing circles. Initially launched as an extension of One Future Collective’s COVID-19 Mental Health Project, which provided support to frontline workers, the Healing Liberation Project transitioned into an ongoing initiative. Over the past five years, One Future Collective has curated safe spaces tailored to specific communities, including queer individuals and survivors of gender-based violence. With an emphasis on nurturing healing, growth, reflection, and unlearning, these spaces have positively impacted over 25,000 individuals.

Each space offers opportunities for connection, rest, joy, and solidarity, striving for inclusivity and accessibility through suggested fees, discounted packages, and financial aid options.

The goal is to strengthen community building, promote connections and rest. Through these spaces we wish to create a nurturing environment where individuals can find communities supporting their healing and growth.

Our collective and the space approaches mental health care through a community-centered and trauma informed lens that acknowledges the significance of collective healing and support systems in fostering psychological well-being.

1. We prioritize community-oriented healing processes, recognizing the pivotal role that a supportive community plays in an individual’s mental health journey. Our spaces are designed to create safe, inclusive environments where individuals can find solace, support, and solidarity within a nurturing community.

2. Our approach acknowledges and addresses trauma’s impact on mental health. We provide safe spaces that consider the effects of trauma, ensuring individuals feel secure and supported in their healing journey.

3. Our approach embraces intersectionality and inclusivity. We understand that mental health is deeply intertwined with various identities and experiences, and our spaces cater to diverse backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences. We strive to create environments where everyone feels respected, seen, and heard.

4. We advocate for mutual care within our spaces. Participants not only receive support but are encouraged to contribute and invest in the well-being of the community.

5. Beyond traditional approaches to mental health care, our approach is holistic. We recognize that mental health is interconnected with physical, emotional, and social well-being. Our spaces encompass various modalities, including art-based sessions, sharing circles, movement-based activities, and discussions on contemporary issues, catering to diverse aspects of well-being.

6. We aim to provide accessible spaces that affirm individuals’ identities and experiences. Our hybrid models of online and offline spaces ensure accessibility for all. Additionally, our suggested fees, financial aid options, and discounted packages aim to make these spaces inclusive and accessible to everyone.

7. Our spaces focus not only on healing but also on personal growth and empowerment. Participants are encouraged to explore self-expression, build connections, and engage in activities that foster personal development within a supportive environment
