Hanin’s work focuses on helping people feel more resourced, expanding their network of support, and reclaiming mental health as a collective, community-centered experience, especially within those communities that are historically and systematically excluded. She is informed by social justice and anti-oppression frameworks and is grounded in offering support, compassion, and empowerment.
