While these frameworks can aid swift decision making in times of supposed emergency, they can also reinforce cultures of liability that restrict the rights and autonomy of those experiencing distress. In the case of mandated reporting, for example, disclosure of suicidality can lead to forced treatment; although this may guarantee a temporary reprieve for a person in crisis, such measures have also been shown to exacerbate the problems they purport to solve. For those of us who are often caught between personal value systems and the codes of ethics from our fields, these experiences can also leave behind a trail of moral injury.</p><p>This class will bring together individuals who bring an abundance of perspectives and experiences to the conversation about how we can practice liberated crisis care, while staying attuned to our values and practicing self-preservation. Oriented to this conversation from multiple vantage points, faculty will share their experiences reconciling personal values with professional codes of ethics, laying the groundwork for strategies that can be adapted to a range of care settings. Participants will be invited to assess their sources of power and potential to cause harm, examine their values, and re-center allyship as a cornerstone of intentional and sustainable healing practices.</p><h2>Learning Objectives</h2><ul><li>Analyze power dynamics within helping relationships</li><li>Assess the ways in which professional and non-professional helpers can be complicit in causing harm</li><li>Identify personal values in order to create a personal ethical framework that can be mobilized in daily life and work</li><li>Formulate intentional strategies for allyship in the helping relationship</li><li>Design self-preservation rituals to resist burnout </li></ul><h2>Faculty</h2><p><strong>Tami Gatta (she/her)</strong> is the founder of Tami Gatta Mental Health Counseling (PLLC Pending) and Co-director of Curious Rebels post-graduate drama therapy training. A peer-identified clinician, Tami specializes in trauma, anxiety, depression, blocks in embodiment, and extreme states (sometimes called “psychosis”), as well as meaningful use of self-disclosure, particularly as it pertains to power and privilege.

She is the co-founder of the Institute for the Development of Human Arts. After receiving her degree in Applied Psychology from NYU and working in the mental health system as a crisis counselor, she became disillusioned with the system and started organizing with grassroots mental health initiatives in New York. She later became a certified peer specialist working with those who experience extreme and altered states often labeled as ‘psychosis’. Jazmine has been trained in holistic practices such as open dialogue, herbalism, intuitive development, energy work, embodiment work, and other models since 2011, which she uses along with her lived experience of extreme states to help others navigate the healing process. She is also a co-editor of the forthcoming Mad Studies Reader to be published by Routledge in 2023.
