Our Roots
Empathy Project engages with the sacred space of grief through culturally relevant, spiritually attuned, and holistically oriented approaches to care. We are sensitive to ancestral adversities that are intergenerationally transmitted in ways that compromise the well-being of descendent generations. We believe that attention to the sociohistorical context of trauma is critical to our healing process and that of others who have shared group experiences of trauma. Studies indicate that the meanings of and beliefs regarding losses, as well as the expression (or non-expression) of grief, are different from culture to culture.
