Healing-Centered Practices for Double Reed Educators: A Social Justice Approach to Mental Health in Pedagogy

With rising awareness of mental health issues, supporting students is essential. Trauma-informed approaches recognize shared trauma and systemic oppression. Music students face unique stressors—imposter syndrome, performance anxiety, burnout, and trauma from financial pressures. This lecture introduces healing-centered practices rooted in social justice frameworks like disability justice, racial justice, and Mad Pride. Attendees will reflect and deepen their existing practices, creating ripple effects that foster community care, collective well-being, and systemic change toward compassionate, justice-centered education.
