The 20th Annual Liberation-Based Healing Conference (LBHC 2025) marks two decades of gathering scholars, activists, educators, students, and community members from across the U.S. to reimagine justice and collective well-being. This powerful two-day virtual event challenges colonial structures embedded in traditional education and therapeutic models and uplifts liberatory practices grounded in community, culture, and relational healing.
Under the theme: “Demanding Accountability, Challenging Oppression, Advancing Liberatory Praxis: A 20+ Year Legacy,” LBHC 2025 invites participants to engage in critical dialogue and shared strategies that confront power and privilege at the intersections of ability, age, class, citizenship, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, and sexual identity.
Founded by the Institute for Family Services (IFS), the Liberation-Based Healing Conference is more than an academic space—it’s a celebration of resistance, creativity, and cultural resilience. This year’s event will continue to center relational healing as a path toward justice, with special emphasis on mental health, education, and intergenerational transformation.
