This pin points to a reality many people experience: ongoing stress, harm, and exhaustion are not just personal struggles—they are shaped by social and political conditions. When systems demand constant productivity, silence, or adaptation to injustice, tending to one’s mental and emotional health can become an act of refusal.
From a therapeutic perspective, healing involves restoring agency, safety, and choice. For individuals and communities who have been denied rest, care, or legitimacy, the work of healing pushes back against narratives that frame suffering as weakness or failure.
Wearing this pin signals a commitment to care that does not ignore context. It recognizes that healing can coexist with critique, and that tending to oneself and one another can be a way of resisting harm, erasure, and burnout.
Healing doesn’t end injustice—but it makes room to survive it, name it, and challenge it.
