In this episode of Healing is the Best Revenge, host Karina Hagelin (they/them) revisits the concept of community care plans, a vital tool for supporting survivors during difficult times. Karina defines community care plans as organized strategies for a survivor's community to collectively offer care, particularly during events like trauma anniversaries or mental health crises.

They emphasize the importance of self-sovereignty in identifying one’s needs and encourage survivors to create shared documents (like Google Docs) where they can list support requests. Community members can then sign up to provide specific types of care, ensuring that the support is sustainable and collaborative.

Karina also shares a wide range of examples of community care, from simple check-ins and phone calls to help with chores and care packages, encouraging creativity in how support is given and received. Listeners are invited to download a customizable community care plan as a free resource.

To wrap up, Karina encourages listeners to share the podcast to help spread the message of healing and community support.
