Leaning into lineages of resilience and care can be a balm for election-related anxiety, for LGBTQ people—and everyone. Erica Woodland, founding director of the healing justice organization National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network (NQTTCN), recommends two main strategies: resiliency planning and safety planning. To get started, Woodland recommends using a safety planning tool from the Community Justice Exchange. Though aimed specifically toward intimate partner violence, the safety planning section (starting on page 23) can be adapted across a variety of situations and needs. Meanwhile, resiliency planning involves identifying the protective practices that help safeguard people’s well-being and increase their resiliency, both long term and day to day.
