About Healing Racism

Many in the Greater Springfield area believe that racism continues to afflict us and has an impact on our businesses, neighborhoods, schools and interpersonal relationships. A process that facilitates an understanding of the root causes and effects of racism, and the institutional nature of racism, will allow for the building of a better and more equitable community.

A growing number of individuals within our community believe that such a sustained process, supported by leadership within the community, can serve as a catalyst to overcome the impact of racism and advance our community and the region’s diverse population. This has led to the establishment of the Healing Racism Institute of Pioneer Valley, guided by a diverse group of individuals representing all sectors in the community, serving on the HRIPV Steering Committee.


The Institute’s signature program is its two-day Healing Racism sessions, which provide a safe environment to learn about the impact of racism on our nation and community in a process that is engaging and transformative.

Our Mission
