Phone: N/A
Practice: NQTTCN is a healing justice organization actively working to transform mental health for queer and trans Black, Indigenous and People of Color (QTBIPOC).
Notable: Through political education and field building, they work to create a future where health, mental health, and healing practitioners build power to intervene against the harm perpetuated by the medical-industrial complex while actively creating new liberatory ecosystems of care for our communities. They envision a world where our movement organizations are more resilient and strategic with the tools to navigate and collectively heal from violence, trauma, crisis, and uncertainty by organizing with politicized health and healing practitioners aligned with healing justice.
