queercomicsconnection: A Revolution in Healing: National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network LCSW Erica Woodland launched the National Queer & Trans Therapists of Color Network (NQTTCN) in 2016 to create “a healing justice organization committed to transforming mental health for queer and trans people of color (QTPoC) in North America.” NQTTCN states that “we do not see our communities or our identities as problems that need to be fixed…We recognize that systemic oppression and degradation (colonization, white supremacy, ableism, patriarchy, queerphobia, transphobia, xenophobia, capitalism, etc.) lead to our experiences of suffering, trauma, and mental health issues…We recognize the ways the mental health system has been used to pathologize and criminalize our communities…We honor the traditions, creativity, and cultural practices QTPoC have used to build resilience and survive.” Therapist directories: National Queer & Trans Therapists of Color Directory (Therapists/Counselors/Social Workers can join here & on FB).
