What is HCRE?

Healing Centered Restorative Engagement (HCRE) is a model that shifts organizational practices to center on well-being. It calls for a recognition of problems and strengths, but with a clear call to challenge systems that create inequality and create disconnection from opportunity. It challenges social problems at their very origins and prioritizes preventative action. As such, HCRE prioritizes political and systems approaches, but operates from a social-ecological framework that includes individual/clinical, interpersonal, organizational, community, and political level elements. The power of this method is that it draws on a fundamentally new and alternative set of philosophical stances, different approaches, and catalyzing practices in response to wicked problems and their impact.
