Healing Futures: Growing Up In Crisis

City Centric Podcast

Welcome to a new episode of Healing Futures, part of the Urban Health Council. This conversation is between neuroscientist and health activist Araceli Camargo, data ethics and facilitator Daniel Akinola-Odusola, and medical student and climate campaigner Amit Singh. It is based on a body of work being produced within the Urban Health Council on what it means for children to grow up in states of crisis. This project is not intended to alarm, but to put the child to old age health trajectory into the context of planetary dysregulation and its secondary effects. Currently, children are experiencing multiple stressors or pathways of poor health; forced displacement, family separation, pollution of water, land, and air, acute weather events, malnutrition, poverty, and a global pandemic that is causing long term effects. In June 2022 the Urban Health Council put out the following work [https://www.urbanhealthcouncil.com/reports-playbooks/growing-up-in-crisis] and through 2023 the Urban Health Council has been convening members of the public and practitioners for open roundtables about the topic. A little bit about Healing Futures: Healing Futures are various futures created by all Peoples in Kinship with Nature for equitable access to various healing practices and knowledges.
