Radical Self-Care Primer

The National Juvenile Justice Network (NJJN) is committed to fostering a culture of wellbeing, which requires unpacking internalized capitalism and white supremacy to build organizations rooted in healing. While much of the conversation around self-care centers on personal practices and coping skills, NJJN is focused on steps organizations can take to create cultures that support their employees as they seek to transform systems. A key aspect of making this shift is learning how white supremacy culture directly undermines self-care and assessing organizational self-care practices within the Network to ensure advocates are supported in caring for their health and wellbeing.
