This involves breaking free from prevailing, often restrictive norms such as heteronormativity, ableism, patriarchy, white supremacy, and gender binaries. Instead, we shift our focus towards historically marginalized and excluded communities, demonstrating a strong commitment to crafting an inclusive and empowering mental health narrative that caters to the diverse needs of all individuals.
