What is Embodied Mind Health Leadership?
Embodied Mind Health Leadership is peer-led, trauma-sensitive, body-based recovery. It focuses on a new method of leadership training and awareness- based education for peers. It develops a new learning system to transform trauma, deepen self-understanding, strengthen advocacy, and promote social transformation.
