From conference to publication
We are pleased to announce the upcoming volume titled Mental Health for Social Justice, edited by Dr. Ahlam Rahal (Assistant Professor and Registered Counselling Therapist). This volume builds directly upon the critical scholarship presented at the previous Equity in Access(ability) conference held in Marrakech, Morocco, in 2026. 
The completed volume will be formally considered for publication in the book series Transforming Education Through Critical Leadership, Policy and Practice, overseen by Series Editor Dr. Stephanie Chitpin. Another volume is under review from the first Equity conference held in Port Louis, Mauritius, in 2025.

Scope & Vision of Marrakech 
conference volume:
The edited volume on mental health for social justice encompasses a range of manuscripts and creative works on anti-oppressive, anti-colonial, and decolonial approaches to wellbeing, advocacy, and psychosocial growth across diverse contexts. Dr. Ahlam Rahal, an assistant professor, registered counselling therapist, critical feminist, and advocate for social justice and liberation, is editing this volume. This edited book aims to disrupt institutional violence and oppression embedded in education and mental health discourses and to help foster practices that centre the voices and lived experiences of those who have been historically silenced in mental health services.
