Cultural healing refers to restoring well-being by reconnecting individuals with their cultural identity, traditions, and community practices. It recognizes that health involves emotional, spiritual, and social dimensions, not just physical symptoms. By honoring cultural beliefs, language, rituals, and shared experiences, communities can foster a sense of belonging, resilience, and purpose. Cultural healing can help address historical trauma, build social support, and empower individuals to recover and flourish within their cultural context. It emphasizes that healing is a holistic process, rooted in understanding and respecting cultural roots and practices.
