  • What is your founding story?
    At One Future Collective (OFC), under The Healing Liberation Project [HLP] which is a community oriented intervention with an aim to promote healing, connection, learning, unlearning and growth. This project was born out of a realization that existing mental health frameworks often fail to encompass the holistic needs of individuals, often reflecting a lens rooted in colonial perspectives. Recognizing the critical role of communities in fostering psychological safety, we felt compelled to create spaces that nurture collective healing and empowerment.The desire to provide spaces aligned with this theme stems from the experiences of own OFC community and a shared aspiration to cultivate safe havens that cater to the diverse needs of our community members seeking holistic well-being.
  • When was your support group founded? How has the journey been since then?

    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 strengthening community building, promoting connection and rest. Through these spaces we wish to create a nurturing environment where individuals can find communities supporting their healing and growth.

  • Explain your group's approach towards helping a person's mental health care.

    Our collective and the I, Me, and Climate 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. Our spaces focus on healing, 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.

  • What is your group's approach towards professional mental health care interventions?
    As a collective and space focused on community-centered healing, we deeply value professional mental health care interventions as part of a comprehensive approach to well-being. While our space primarily emphasizes community-driven healing, we recognize the significance of professional mental health support. When necessary, we collaborate with and refer individuals to trusted mental health professionals or platforms. Our group spaces are facilitated by mental health professionals or individuals trained in trauma-informed practices or people with lived experiences. they can provide immediate emotional support, facilitate discussions, and create safe spaces.
  • What conversations is your support group not equipped to support?
    Our spaces are designed to foster supportive and inclusive environments for collective healing and growth.
