Leaders and subscribers to the 'wellness' space are often not populated with immigrants or BIPOC individuals and communities. Immigrants who lack the time, finances or accessibility to this type of education, coaching, etc. are marginalized from being able to access greater quality of life for themselves and their following generations.
Poor coping mechanisms for stress either become self-harming behaviors or internalized within the body. For generations of families who do not have the opportunity to navigate their health and wellness with community spaces, or even solely to talk about it, get more sick, and live shorter lives.

Holistic modalities like meditation, breathwork, therapy, and yoga, prove to be a catalyst for healing intergenerational trauma. The means to provide these services are becoming more available, but generally not readily made aware of.
The approach to provide organizations with the tools to offer these types of services requires a grassroots movement, boots on the ground approach. From my experience, creating local community alliances that fortify the efforts are far more effective than just creating ads and flyers circulated via email.
Curating community events and inviting these power partners to participate, leverages their network and extends the reach to provide marginalized communities new ways to cope, heal, and live more meaningful lives!

Perhaps an unsatisfying perspective@Cheryl De Guzman Capadocia : a people-centered focus ironically often starts with infrastructure. Integrating programs into schools, advocacy platforms for elevating local environment quality standards, fortifying the community with easily-accessible "health hotspots" (e.g. grocery stores w/in walking distance). Perhaps a grading rubric + platform that helps local governments (district-level platforms) assess and organize the likes of all of this.
