  • 70I The Power of Story and Faith: Islamic Trauma Healing in Practice
    May 23 2025
    Overview: We dive into the origins, structure, and impact of Islamic Trauma Healing—a community-driven, lay-led mental health intervention designed for Muslim communities, particularly Afghans and Somalis who have experienced significant trauma. Joining us are Mohammed Haroon , an Afghan mental health counselor and research coordinator, and Jake Bentley, a clinical psychologist from the University of Washington. We explore the barriers many Muslim refugees face with Western mental health services, how Islamic Trauma Healing uniquely integrates faith, community narratives, and evidence-based trauma care, and what sessions look like in practice. We discuss the training process for community leaders, the intervention’s positive effects—both academically and through personal testimonials—and address how culturally contextualized models like this can help reduce stigma and foster healing. Finally, we consider possibilities for broader dissemination and adaptation of the model to other communities. Key Topics: "Community Engagement and Prophet Narratives" Training Community Leaders for Facilitation Lay Leader Training Structure Program Expansion and Cultural Alignment Building Trust with Community Stakeholders Encouraging Feedback on Pilot Program Expanding Mental Health Program Reach Culturally Adapted Trauma Healing Next Step: Visit our website, ⁠⁠Healthcare for Humans⁠⁠, and join our community to enjoy exclusive benefits at ⁠⁠https://www.healthcareforhumans.org/support/⁠⁠ Support Our Mission: Non-clinicians, explore exclusive content and contribute to our collective journey.

  • 69 I When COVID Hit Hardest: Pacific Islander Voices Reveal Hidden Healthcare Truths
    May 1 2025
    Overview: We explore the deep-rooted structural inequities that have shaped health outcomes for Pacific Islander communities, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, we unpack how colonialism, racism, erasure, and the lack of culturally appropriate healthcare have contributed to disproportionate impacts, and we highlight the vital role of community-led solutions and culturally safe spaces in healing. We discuss the limitations of the cultural competency model, the importance of recognizing power dynamics, and the essential need for physicians and healthcare systems to center trust, relationship-building, and self-determination for marginalized communities. Key Topics: Colonialism and Pacific Islander Identity Carceral System's Impact on Public Health Health Equity and COVID-19 Inequities Pacific Islanders Facing Bias Stereotypes Understanding Implicit Bias and Ignorance Amplifying Voices for Cultural Safety Cultural Hubs for Community Care Current Partnership w/ Joseph: Oceania Northwest Next Step: Visit our website, ⁠Healthcare for Humans⁠, and join our community to enjoy exclusive benefits at ⁠https://www.healthcareforhumans.org/support/⁠ Support Our Mission: Non-clinicians, explore exclusive content and contribute to our collective journey.

  • 68 I Four Days, Three Thousand Lives—Seattle King County Clinic w/ Julia Colson
    Apr 8 2025
    We sit down with Julia Colson, the founder and executive director of the Seattle King County Clinic, to discuss the incredible journey of establishing a large-scale, volunteer-driven pop-up clinic providing free dental, vision, and medical services to thousands each year. She shares the clinic's origin story, spurred by a 60-minute episode that highlighted the healthcare struggles of everyday people and her realization of the parallels within her own life. Julia delves into the challenges of building such a unique healthcare initiative from scratch, emphasizing the essential role of openness, humility, and collaboration in shaping the clinic's success. Through heartfelt anecdotes and insights, we explore the powerful impact of the clinic in transforming both patient experiences and volunteer perspectives while also addressing how the initiative calls attention to the broader issues plaguing our healthcare system. To Volunteer: Seattle/King County Clinic - Seattle Center Foundation Overview: Transformed from watching "60 Minutes" to founding a clinic that serves 3,000 patients in four days Used event planning background rather than healthcare expertise to approach problems differently Created a collaborative model where diverse skills complemented each other's gaps Challenged stereotypes by showing diverse patients - teachers, tech workers with insurance, not just unhoused individuals Built community between patients and volunteers by midday of each clinic Used the clinic as both immediate intervention and platform for advocacy Incorporated storytelling through comics and patient narratives to humanize statistics Balanced meeting urgent needs while pushing for systemic reform Demonstrated how naivete and humility can be assets when creating innovative solutions Prioritized listening and supporting patients over rushing through care Helped providers reconnect with the human aspects of medicine, free from business metrics Next Step: Visit our website, Healthcare for Humans, and join our community to enjoy exclusive benefits at https://www.healthcareforhumans.org/support/ Support Our Mission: Non-clinicians, explore exclusive content and contribute to our collective journey.
