community-based healing

Community-based healing refers to health recovery processes that involve the support and participation of local communities rather than relying solely on medical institutions. It integrates social, cultural, and emotional aspects, encouraging community members to work together in promoting well-being and addressing mental or physical health challenges. This approach fosters shared responsibility, empowers individuals through local networks, and emphasizes culturally relevant practices. By leveraging existing social connections and resources, community-based healing aims to create sustainable, accessible, and holistic pathways for recovery, ultimately strengthening the resilience and health of the entire community.
