We care for people that care for people.
Radical Joy aims to reduce the burnout of people who work in social service industries. We focus on populations that have historically been excluded from practicing self-care.
This includes educators, social workers, nurses, activists, parents etc. We want to remind people of their inherent worth outside of servicing others in hopes of creating mentally and emotionally healthy communities.
We also pay particular attention to supporting BIPOC/BAME people because in these industries there is an extra layer of societal oppression that creates even more challenging circumstances for these individuals.
We have over 10 years of public service experience in the realms of education, community organizing, and mental health.
We do this by providing sliding scale and subsidized 1 to 1 mental health services to those in financial need.
We do this through Self-Care and Mental Health Workshops which provide immediate support to employees and students so they can better cope with the challenging nature of social service industries.
We also do this through Social Justice & DEI Training and Consultancy to reduce harmful practices and help organizations restructure their policies and procedures to be in alignment with wellness and DEI standards, leading to better retention rates and improved quality of service.
We have served over 300 participants and more than 15 organizations, with 90% of organizations being returning clients.
This work has gone global with us facilitating workshops, leading retreats, and doing school consulting in 5 countries; the United States, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.
We care for people that care for people.
