ACHE (Alliance for Care and Health Empowerment) was borne out of a desire to turn the disempowering and traumatising experiences too many of us are suffering under current health &/or care systems, and build something where we can come together and share the incredible knowledge and wisdom that we have gathered in the face of deep neglect from people we were taught would supposedly provide us with that care externally.

We have become our own — and each other's — teachers, recognising that we have always been the experts on our own bodies, and that we should be the ones doing more of the work in this field! At ACHE we aren't ever looking for you to prove yourself with academic or professional qualifications — your lived experiences and unique perspectives that you bring to the table are far more exciting.

We are interested in where our work can make present-day navigations existing systems easier, while we also work to build a future where our conceptualisations of "medicine" and "care" are so much bigger and more exciting, and part of a freer world for all.
