…. how to engage with cullures of enquiry whereby we give ourselves, and each other, permission actively to participate in processes of democratisation that confront painful psychosocial realities communally.
What can we (re-)learn from the rise and the fall of Henderson Hopsital Therapeutic Community …
What is the nature of being in communities? What range of experiences come under the under-examined heading of 'feelings of belonging or not belonging'? What structures and processes sustain and integrate community, and what factors tend towards the disintegration or collapse of community? What happens when cultures of enquiry are developed and renewed, and what happens when they atrophy, falter or fail? Come and join us in exploration of these experiences in communities in the temporary learning community of our annual public event.... #democratictherapeuticcommunities#therapeuticcommunities#practicesofequality#activistresearch#survivorresearch#groupdynamics#psychosocial#communites#communitiesofpractice#coalition
We are in the planning stages for the 14th National Innovative Communities Conference, and we can't wait to see what exciting initiatives are developed based on what those in attendance discuss and learn.
Eleven years ago, the NICC inspired the founders of the city of Jurupa Valley to launch their Healthy City initiative, Healthy Jurupa Valley.
What is Healthy Jurupa Valley?
****
HJV is part of a global movement of healthy city initiatives that work to improve the health and quality of life of all residents. Healthy Jurupa Valley is a public/private partnership between the City of Jurupa Valley and the nonprofit agency Reach Out. The mission is to inspire residents to ignite change, bringing greater health, safety, and quality of life to everyone in the city.
The initiatives we've undertaken in the past decade are far-reaching, and the impacts are broad.
✅ Through the efforts of this initiative, HJV has increased green space, community gardens, and awareness of substance abuse issues and vaccine availability.
✅ We've held leadership academies to empower community members to become leaders and share resources.
✅ We've created "Shop the Walk" events to drive connection between local business and the community, and hosted face-to-face meetings with elected officials to allow them to meet the community members they represent.
Health represents so much more than physical well-being, and the HJV initiative has grown community connection, safety, and well-being in immeasurable ways. We can't wait to bring this program to more Inland Empire cities!
