The #HealMeToo Podcast went on “pause” with the shutdown, but for our third season, we’re excited to announce a special series and a new YouTube channel for #HealMeToo At-Home—with insights, art, and activism to meet the needs of now. Survivors and our communities are experiencing many forms of trauma in this time of confinement, illness, uprising, and economic stress—not to mention the urgency of November’s elections. So we’ve retooled the #HealMeToo platform to feature video as well as audio interviews, with ideas and tools that may help in the midst of crisis. You can watch each new episode and podcast extra our new YouTube channel at bit.ly/hm2youtube. Binge Season One to hear excerpts and conversations from the first-ever #HealMeToo Festival last spring, and don't miss the live events and deep conversations about ways to have healthier relationships in all aspects of our lives, in Season Two.
