The Issue

Intentional silence and neglect within the mental health field are forms of psychological warfare. We demand immediate response, accountability, and reparative actions for the field’s perpetuation of trauma through its complicity in the ongoing genocide in Palestine where over 20,000 people have been killed, 8000+ being children at the time this petition was published (12/22/23) (source).

Updated tolls in November, 2024 stalled at 43,600+ confirmed deaths, 10,000+ reported missing, 103K+ wounded, and 1.9M displaced. These figures are drastically underreported for a number of reasons. (Learn more here).

Our demands center on four critical areas of action: 

  1. The provision of equitable care and mental health support, assurance of protection and legal support;
  2. Culturally-responsive educational spaces for advocates, activists, and learners for liberation;
  3. Acknowledgment of historical and racialized trauma in the context of the ongoing genocide in Palestine, with commitment to action and structural change;
  4. Acknowledgment of the field’s complicity and trauma perpetuation, with commitment to action and structural change
