Streamed Live!
There will NOT be an in-person meeting this month.
We are truly sorry.
Please take care of yourself and each other.
- As our collective mental health takes a hit during the COVID-19 pandemic, let’s gather to discuss how to manage this struggle with harm reduction techniques and radical mental health perspectives in mind.
- We will consider ways to meet ourselves where we’re at rather than feel pressured to perform productivity & wellness
- We will discuss ways to ground ourselves in our values and practices of mutual aid to support our collective well-being in this challenging time.

Karen Hixson has been a mental health counselor in Portland, Oregon since 2002 with a focus on social justice and anti-oppression based perspectives. She has also been organizing with her local mental health comrades in Empathy Riot! since the 2016 election.
