Practicing Decolonized Parenting When You’re Triggered & Tired
How do we stay true to our values in justice and liberation as caregivers in this moment of uncertainty and chaos?
Surviving under systemic oppression might leave you with so little bandwidth to be intentional in raising your little ones even when you know all too well that “liberation starts at home.”
How do we struggle well while showing up as the parents/caregivers we know we can be…most of the time?
In this interactive, 90-minute teach-in, you’ll explore:
Sustain your advocacy as a caregiving using the Hokey Pokey of Social Justice Parenting.
Protect your child(ren) from oppression and still prepare them for liberation using the Social Justice Parenting Math.
Shift from (unintentionally) policing your child(ren) when you’re triggered and tired with one question from the Social Justice Parenting Playbook framework.
We’ll explore these topics together using a large group discussion. Participate as much or little as you’d like. Multitasking with children on your lap or in a messy (aka magical) living room is welcomed. Come curious. Come as you are.
Staying aligned with your values in liberation while staying alive under systemic oppression is yikes on bikes. And you’re not alone. We’re in this struggle towards liberation together.

Nat Nadha Vikitsreth, LCSW (she/her)
Nat Nadha Vikitsreth, LCSW (she/her) is a dot connector, norm agitator, and lover of liberation who supports social justice curious families in their efforts to practice social justice in their parenting while re-parenting their inner child. Nat works as a nationally award-winning decolonized therapist and facilitator, a trans rights activist, and a host of the Come Back to Care Podcast. She founded Come Back to Care for anyone who loves and raises children to heal as we get free. Her upcoming book, Raising Change Agents: Practicing Social Justice in Everyday Parenting is available for pre-order now.
Because knowing about oppression doesn’t automatically birth a revolution, Come Back to Care serves as a radical healing and (un)learning space. A space that nurtures experimentation which puts social justice awareness into action. A space that aligns social justice actions with clinical practices. A space that invites you to reclaim your whole self and bring it to our liberatory work.
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 IECMH providers raising and loving young children.
Nat believes that when parents and providers alike heal our inner child and internalized oppression wounds in a community, we put fragmented pieces of ourselves together to show up to both parenting and community organizing with our whole selves. Then, we can dismantle systemic oppression and rebuild a culture that's rooted in liberation for our future generations.
