DESCRIPTION:
Walking the Edge of Insanity: Mental Health and the Radical Activist Community

Saturday, December 4th

2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

230 W 1st St

Peppertree Park, Tustin

(Peppertree Park is located on 1st St. between B St. & C St. in the city of Tustin.)

Presenters: Ashley and Sascha from The Icarus Project (www.theicarusproject.net)

As radical political activists and folks living on the fringes the conventional social system, what does it mean within our extended anti-authoritarian community for someone to be "mentally ill" or struggling with traditional labels such as "clinical depression," ,

"bipolar disorder," or "schizophrenia"? How helpful is the modern psychiatric paradigm that revolves around medicine and psychotherapy and how much of it is really just a function of powerful pharmaceutical corporations, public funding cuts, and a generally deranged society?

Chances are pretty high that if you're reading this, you or someone you care about his been grappling with these questions for years. Come hear from Ashley and Sascha of The Icarus Project who have a healthy distrust of the current system but are working on both conventional and alternative fronts of mental health treatment to empower people who are dealing with

the world of insanity to take back control of their lives.

Participate in the beginnings of a long overdue dialogue that addresses the complicated taboos around mental health issues within the anarchist

community and beyond. This workshop will begin as a presentation detailing practical health tips and information but we hope to inspire a discussion that will last well into the future.

Asking -10 donations for the speakers and benefitting the Icarus Project. Nobody will be turned away for lack of funds.
