How do we provide genuine care in a world designed to marginalize?
In this powerhouse episode of #bifradio, we sit down with three leading voices in the field of psychology and social justice: Evan Auguste, PhD, Hector Adames, PhD, and Krista Edwards, PhD. Together, they dismantle the myth that mental health care can ever be "neutral" or "apolitical."
The conversation dives deep into the complex architecture of systemic oppression and its direct impact on communal healing. From the lecture hall to the therapy room, our guests explore what it truly means to intervene when the structures meant to support us are the very ones causing harm. This isn't just a clinical discussion—it’s a roadmap for transformative, justice-oriented care that honors the lived experiences of those at the margins.
In this episode, we explore:
The psychological toll of systemic inequality and how to address it in practice.
Moving beyond "cultural competence" toward radical liberation.
Practical strategies for clinicians and advocates to integrate social justice into their care models.
The power of storytelling in reclaiming agency within "Your Story, Our Station."
