The\u00a0\u201cHealing Voices” project<\/a>\u00a0is a unique new idea to address a critical gap in the farmworker organizing ecosystem \u2013 focusing on healing personal and community trauma as a needed step in increasing power for farmworkers to be drivers of change.\u00a0Supported by funding from The Workers Lab Innovation Fund and the Collective Future Fund,\u00a0Justice for Migrant Women<\/a>\u00a0worked in partnership with the National Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Association (NMSHSA), the Eva Longoria Foundation (ELF) and Latinx Therapy to pilot this first-of-its-kind mental health initiative for farmworkers. The work will support the holistic healing of some of the 2.5 to 3 million US farmworkers who have experienced decades of traumatizing working conditions, economic insecurity and vulnerability, all of which were exacerbated by COVID-19. \u201cHealing Voices\u201d brings together farmworkers in virtual support groups to heal, build agency, and mobilize workers, while ensuring ease of access and their physical safety.<\/p>\n

This event is sponsored by\u00a0The City of Toledo Human Relations Commission<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Welcome TLC<\/a>\u00a0as part of\u00a0Better Toledo<\/a>, a personal and professional development series to ensure \u201cyou will do better in Toledo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Certificates of completion are available to participants who take part in three or more sessions in 2023.<\/p>\n
