🐰 I fell down a rabbit hole and resurfaced two days later with a curated guide on Notion.
The world talks so much about self-care, but not so much about community care. Why is that? It hurts my heart so much. 💔
Why are we becoming such and individualistic society when, to me, it is clear as day that community care needs to become a priority. It is what we love and want, yet so many of us are unwilling to make that apparent sacrifice to support other people.
This is reflected as much in our digital worlds as much as it is in our real lives. The longer it goes on, the more I'm not sure how much more of it I can take.
I went exploring what ‘community care’ means. And this is what I found.
Do you have a resource to add? Do let me know and I’ll add it in. It’s somewhat difficult to find resources when most searches produce ‘community care’ information in relation to ‘social care’.
You can duplicate a copy of this Notion document for your own personal use.
