Introduction to Radical Mental Health
Event Information
Description
May is "Mental Health Awareness Month" - a month-long educational anti-stigma campaign that can be isolating for many people who identify with alternative mental health movements and / or don't feel represented in the predominant media surrounding the month.
This May Inside Our Minds is happy to bring a virtual community workshop and discussion on radical mental health! What exactly does radical mental health mean? What makes it "radical"? Why doesn't everyone identify as living with a mental illness? Why do some people use terms like Mad, Crazy, Psychiatric Survivor, or other unfamiliar terms? In this virtual workshop, we will give a brief presentation on radical mental health from our organization's perspective and understanding. We will then leave time for questions and a community discussion on the topic.
