Catalyst
Initiative
The Catalyst Initiative honors and fosters culturally authentic self-care practices to advance health and well-being.
Impact
For communities in need, including people experiencing current and/or historical trauma, toxic stress, inequities, or lack of access to opportunities, this initiative is here to help. Here’s how it works:
Educate and Inspire
We foster understanding about the benefits and importance of self-care, trauma healing, and well-being.
Scale Generative Norms
We synthesize what we learn and connect networks and leadership that embed culturally authentic healing practices in communities.
Shift Systems
We champion policies, practices, and investments that advance self-care as primary care.
Seed and Innovate
We boldly invest in promising practices in self-care and healing.
