Liberatory Public Service (LPS) as a Framework for Transforming Health and Human Services
Abstract
This commentary introduces the Liberatory Public Service (LPS) framework as a transformative, trauma-informed, and equity-driven approach to reimagining health and human services administration. Focusing on the structural inequities revealed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the persistent barriers faced by LGBTQIA+ communities, it demonstrates how LPS can guide systemic change grounded in healing, justice, and inclusion. By centering those most marginalized, LPS offers a bold and practical path for advancing health equity in the United States.
