For funders, policymakers, health systems and the people who decide how recovery is paid for.
Healing Economics does not ask funders and policymakers to invest more in recovery. It asks them to invest differently — and to understand the full economic cost of continuing to invest in the deficit model.
Healing Economics reframes recovery from deficit management to capital investment — treating individuals as portfolios of assets across nine measurable domains: mental, emotional, spiritual, social, time, recovery, economic, cultural, and grief/support capital.
“We are not asking whether we can afford to invest in people. We are asking what it costs us not to.”
