We may be socially distant in this traumatic time, but we're not alone.
For the last few weeks, Iâve been going through it. First there was the constant stream of news about the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on Black communities, then came the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade at the hands of police and the wrongful death of Ahmaud Arbery. Meanwhile Iâm navigating this pandemic along with everyone else, and trying to figure out how to make a positive impact along the way. Itâs been dizzying. And I know Iâm not alone.
According to Naj Austin, founder of the social community for people of color Ethelâs Club, all of those complex feelings and mixed emotions are normal in times of crisis and collective trauma. Ethelâs Club, which previously offered free mental health counseling for members in its Brooklyn location, has now transitioned to a digital model. âThe great thing about a healing space like Ethelâs Club is that it takes our identity, and everything that comes with that, into account. You canât talk about these complex feelings without talking about Blackness.â The clubâs online community is hosting free, hour-long grieving sessions twice monthly.
For many Black people practicing social distancing, the need for virtual resources has never been more clear. So, Iâve compiled a list of six more mental health resources, in addition to Ethelâs Club, that are providing virtual support to the Black community right now. However you choose to grieve, process, and/or stand in solidarity, remember that youâre not alone, and that your personhood and wellness still matter.
Dive in Well
Maryam Ajayi founded Dive in Well, an organization offering digital classes on various wellness practices, to create a more inclusive wellness industry. Dive in Well hosts donation-based digital events like breathwork classes and therapy sessions aimed at centering self care.
Sista Afya
This Chicago-based, community-driven organization provides women from across the Black diaspora with low-cost group therapy sessions, workshops, and free online conversations known as Online Sista Support Groups, which cover topics like managing the stress sparked by consuming news.
Healhaus
Founders Darian Hall and Elisa Shankle created this space in Brooklyn to provide accessible and inclusive wellness to their community. HealHaus is currently closed, but their ethos has continued virtually through live streamed classes, including a healing cypher for men of color.
Therapy for Black Girls
Dr. Joy Harden Bradford founded this organization to combat the stigma around therapy that might otherwise prevent Black women from seeking care. Now, TBG has become a successful podcast, a directory that aims to connect women with culturally competent therapists, as well as a private community Facebook support group. The organization holds free group support sessions weekly on Thursday nights at 7 p.m. EST.
The Nap Ministry
Performance artist and poet Tricia Hersey founded The Nap Ministry to champion Black rest as a form of reparations and resistance against burnout culture and capitalism. While she normally hosts free pop-ups where visitors can take brief naps and workshops in the Atlanta area, Hersey has been using Instagram to provide mini sermons about the importance of slowing down and getting more sleep when youâre a Black person fighting oppression day-in and day-out.
Inclusive Therapists
Austin-based therapist Melody Li founded the Inclusive Therapists database to provide therapists with training for racial trauma and connect people of all identities, abilities, and bodies with culturally sensitive care. Li herself, and many other therapists in the Inclusive Therapists network, offer reduced-fee teletherapy options to ensure that financial limitations do not keep people from pursuing care. Decolonizing Therapy and Viva Wellness are two other therapy practices with active online platforms.

2. educate yourself

note: more links are in the masterposts linked below.

3. give out supplies to protestors
people need supplies to protest safely, and even if they bring supplies with them, they can often run out. if youâre able, stock up and hand them out to people protesting. for more supplies to donate, see the âgeorge floyd actionâ google docs link in section 5.
water bottles (dehydration and heatstroke are not things people should have to deal with alongside bastard cops. if the police in your area are particularly violent or known to use tear gas, get the ones with the sports cap/suction-thing/etc so people can use them as emergency eye-flushes.)
snacks (make sure to take into account that people have allergies of all sorts. foods will have a little label that says âmay containâ and then list any potential allergens. write the allergens on the ziploc (or any container you use) in permanent marker, or better yet, write the snacks included in the pack.)
masks (donât forget thereâs still a pandemic going on. also it will aid in deterring facial recognition when the police try to track down protestors, Â also part two, if the cops use tear gas, wearing a mask (with the combination of a scarf or bandana) will lessen the adverse effects. lessen, not stop.)
bandanas, scarves, etc. and goggles (ski goggles, swimming goggles, etc.) (see above for explanation on the scarves. same goes for the goggles. antiâtear gas and antiâfacial recognition.)
clean shirts (for people who are heavily gassed. also helps deter recognition through clothing.)
wound care supplies (band-aids, packets of neosporin packets or a similar antibiotic, alcohol wipes, etc.; if you can, decant bactine into those little travel bottles.)
a sharpie or another type of marker (for writing bail numbers or emergency contacts on arms, hands, etc. itâs not enough to have your cityâs bail fund number stored on your phone; the police wonât give it to you to look it up. give people a marker so they can write it down, preferably not washable so it isnât easily removed.)
IMPORTANT: KNOWING FIRST AID
tear gas: if youâre hit, get out as fast and as soon as you can. take anyone you can with you. the longer youâre in the gas, the harder it will be for you to see, and it can irritate your airways, making it hard to breathe. if youâre hit, donât run; itâll only make things worse on your lungs. when you leave the area, take a cold shower. donât use hot water (it will only reactivate the agent); donât bathe (it will only spread the CS around). (source 1) (source 2) (cdc fact sheet on tear gas)
move them to a clean and ventilated area where itâs as safe as possible.
ask them if theyâre wearing contact lenses. have them remove it. if theyâre wearing glasses, rinse it with water.
solution of half liquid antacid, half water. spray from the inside going out, with the head tilted back and slightly towards the side being rinsed. if they say itâs okay, open the eye slightly while doing this. (source)
bullet wounds: the most important thing is to stop the bleeding. be sure to check for an exit wound and cover that as well. treat both wounds, but treat the worse one first.
stop the bleed (youtube video by uc san diego health)
first aid in active shooting scenarios
making a tourniquet (a commercial tourniquet is best, but improvised ones can work as well if done properly; the most important things to remember is that tourniquets are for limb injuries and are not meant for the head or torso and that they have to be very tightly wound on the injury.)
how to apply pressure dressings
miscellaneous
adult cpr tutorial (youtube video by cincinnati childrenâs; think of âstaying aliveâ by the beegees or âuptown funkâ)
4. be a source of information
be responsible with this. peopleâs lives are at stake. that being said, the media is a fucking joke and the best way to get accurate information in a grassroots rebellion is amongst ourselves. record everything, but if you are going to share any information at all, be sure to blur peopleâs faces.

NUMBERS TO CALL FOR ARRESTED PROTESTORS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; SOURCES LINKED TO THE NUMBER)
remember to keep phones OFF unless absolutely necessary. cell phone towers, stingrays, location notifs can all be used to track you and other protestors. donât fuck around. if your phone must be on, keep it on airplane mode as often as possible and only communicate using encrypted methods. no, snapchat doesnât count.
