A national award-winning decolonized therapist and facilitator, a trans rights activist and a host of the Come Back to Care podcast, Nat Nadha Vikitsreth, LCSW supports parents in their efforts to practice social justice while re-parenting their inner child. She founded Come Back to Care as a space that nurtures experimentation in putting social justice awareness into action and aligns social justice actions with clinical practices.
Rooted in healing, transformative and disability justice lineages, Come Back to Care weaves play, embodiment, political education and spiritual storytelling into experiential teach-ins for families, activists and infant and early childhood mental health providers invested in the successful future of young children.
Vikitsreth maintains that when parents and providers heal their inner child and internalized oppression wounds, they can be fully present in parenting and community organizing, as well as work toward dismantling systemic oppression and rebuilding a culture rooted in liberation. She also provides political education and healing support to youth organizers around the Indigenous land of the Ojibwe, Odawa and Potawatomi Nations in Chicago.
