Heal the Block: Crisis Response in Our Hands

Kicking off Black History Month by honoring those who led before us and carrying their lessons forward.

Healing the Block: An Alternative Approach to Crisis Response is a powerful community panel rooted in healing justice, mutual aid, and collective care. Together, we will explore how everyday people can respond to mental health crises, de-escalate harm, and strengthen wellness in our communities without relying on punishment or policing.

Grounded in Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of collective liberation, this conversation centers practical strategies for community-based crisis intervention and care.

Panelists include:
Former Black Panther, Richmond Chapter, Veronza Bowers
Senior Manager of Healing Justice Programming at APTP, Diego
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Margaret
MSW Interns from Cal State East Bay, Joey and Miss Charlie
