BEAM Healing & Accountability Wheel 2020 Final- Square

Image Description:

A white background with a yellow and blue BEAM logo at the top with the words “Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective” underneath. Blue text underneath with the words “HEALING & ACCOUNTABILITY WHEEL.” Underneath the text is a wheel with a blue border.

There are 4 main sections (clockwise from the top) - Love, Intimacy, Accountability, Communication. Each main section has two parts.

Love: Part 1 - “Sharing Power: Working together to find solutions; Sharing in responsibilities & child rearing; Honoring and outlining commitments; Transparency about intentions and choices.”

Part 2 - “Creating Safety, Trust & Love: Respecting boundaries; Respecting mental, physical or emotional differences; Learning and respecting their love language; Respecting their health, HIV/STD status, gender, identity.”

Intimacy: Part 1 - “Honoring/Affirming Feelings: Communicating feelings assertively and clearly; Validating & respecting experiences/opinions even when disagreeing; Not projecting intent onto partner’s choices.”

Part 2 - “Staying Present: Not abandoning when difficult things come up/ghosting; Communicating when you need time alone and negotiating when things will be discussed; Avoiding phone/devices when difficult things come up; Engaging in active listening.”

Accountability: Part 1 - “Being accountable: Taking responsibility for your choices; Getting support to change harmful behaviors; Acknowledging the impacts of your actions, regardless of intent; Respecting space and time others need to heal from harm.”

Part 2 - “Pleasure & Consent: Respecting when/how they want sec/touch and how they enjoy sex/touch; Respecting “no” whether verbal or non-verbal; Honoring relationship agreements (polyamory, monogamy, etc.); Affirming their body.”

Communication: Part 1 - “Communicating Respectfully: Speaking in a tone or manner that is not harmful or degrading to others; Being mindful of what your body language is communicating; Communicating when you need time to calm down to not be disrespectful and when you will return.”

Part 2 - “Sharing in Economic Decisions: Honesty and openness about finances; Transparency about how shared resources are spent; Honoring financial agreements.”

At the center of the wheel is a yellow circle with blue text that says “Building and maintaining trust; Shared decision making; Honoring strengths; Creating safety.”

At the bottom of the graphic in grey text are the words, “Copyright Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective 2017. www.beam.community. This wheel credits and builds upon the work of the Non Violence Wheel designed by New Hope for Women.”

Tips for Supporting a Loved One Living With Schizophrenia Created by Allen Lipscomb, Yolo Akili Robinson, and Leroy Mitchell Assess for their safety (make sure they are not going to put themselves in harm's way or be harmed by someone else). Never challenge a hallucination (Ask- What are you seeing? Be curious, but don't question or engage the hallucination.). Do not refer to their hallucinations or delusions as demons. (This is harmful and shaming for folks living with Schizophrenia). Be mindful of stigmatizing language and assumptions (schizo, crazy can be triggers). Be mindful of language used to discuss medication consult professionals as much as possible. Do research on medications, side effects and the experiences of Black people with the medications. Create a community of support, you can’t do it all alone. (Find those who are patient, those who are sensitive to persons needs, and those who are available). Make sure you are centering your own mental health and wellness support. Create a care plan for yourself as well and know your limitations.
