The six-headed hydra: why solving one pipeline isn't enough

You're living inside a system that is hundreds of years old. Our free course The Six-Headed Hydra asks how the end-of-life suffering of diaspora families keeps happening — and why it keeps coming back.

Six pipelines

The same pattern replicates across six colonial language pipelines — English, French, Belgian, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish — each connecting source countries to destination countries. Healthcare workers flow one way; the gap in end-of-life care stays behind.

The course shows where your own family's history sits inside a specific pipeline.

Why it regenerates

Like the hydra of myth, cut off one head and another grows back. Solving one pipeline does not solve the problem, because all six share a root: natal alienation — the severing of people from the ties and inheritance that would protect them.

The course also names the Social Death Convergence: historical and clinical social death arriving at the same bedside.

The silence it breaks

Each of our Global Problems courses is built to break one silence. This one breaks the silence about advocacy needs — and makes one sentence sayable in your family: we should learn how to advocate together.

That's where our seven-stage advocacy workbook comes in: learning, as a care team, to speak for each other in real hospital rooms.
