Baltimore Radical Mental Health Collective
Short Course Description:
The Baltimore Radical Mental Health Collective is a new project that creates space for community to support one another and brainstorm new realities.
The Baltimore Radical Mental Health Collective is a project that creates space for individuals to come together to care/support/cultivate one another's realities, in creative and collaborative ways. Drawing inspiration from the Radical Mental Health Movement, we believe in the vision of building, "... culture and language that resonates with our actual experiences of 'mental illness' rather than trying to fit our lives into a conventional framework." (Icarus Project)
