Decolonial processes to support youth mental health
In the 21st century, war, famine, genocide, and natural disasters have led to the highest levels of forced human migration in recorded history.

This paper uses feminist decolonial and critical race theories to disrupt notions that Western perspectives on mental health…

To exemplify this framework, we present the work of a community research partnership between academics and individuals with lived experience…
