From "abundance" to "zinemaking," An Encyclopedia of Radical Helping invites the reader to wander through a collection of interconnected entries on helping and healing by over 200 contributors from the worlds of social work and family therapy; art and design; body work and witchery; organizing and education; and more. Privileging co-construction over diagnosis, wisdom over evidence, collective healing over individual cure-yet always blurring categories and embracing contradictions-this world-making collection reveals a pluriverse of helping practices grounded in love and freedom.


Erin Segal, MSW, PhD., is a mother, wife, daughter, and friend who facilitates groups with elders and, along with Julie Cho, publishes unusual books about care work and the work of care.

Chris Hoff, PhD, LMFT, is the Founder and Executive Director of California Family Institute and a Liminal Space Tour Guide.

Julie Cho is graphic designer and design educator who is one-third of the graphic design studio Omnivore with Alice Chung and Karen Hsu and one-half of Thick Press with Erin Segal. She also teaches graphic design in the undergraduate and graduate departments of Otis College of Art and Design and is on the steering committee of the arts non-profit, GYOPO.
