Some Transmissions for Your Monday

Welcome to this sporadic newsletter about personal and collective healing. I send it to old and new friends as well as to people I’ve crossed paths with doing work in the Transformative Mental Health realm over the last two decades. Today I'm sharing just a couple announcements from the So Many Wings podcast and the Institute for the Development of Human Arts (IDHA). I'm grateful to be affiliated with both of them. I have some openings in my counseling practice on Wednesday and Thursdays, find the link at the bottom!

Mad love, Sascha

So Many Wings: Radical Healership with Laura Mae Northrup

Here's the podcast I mentioned in the last newsletter:

Join Sascha Altman DuBrul and Jacks McNamara for a wide-ranging conversation with therapist and author Laura Mae Northrup on her new book Radical Healership. Topics we cover include:

-The path and calling of being a healer, and the complexities of using the term “healer”

-The nuances of boundaries inside healing work

-Desire and living our values

-The “shadow” why – trying to heal your own baggage through getting your clients to heal

-Class, grief, and building a financially sustainable practice

-Healing as threatening to the abusive power structure of capitalism

About Laura:

Decarcerating Care Event is Today!

Join the Institute for the Development of Human Arts (IDHA) on Monday, March 28 for the fourth installment of their Decarcerating Care discussion series, which has opened the dialogue for alternatives to policing that are lived experience of mental health service users and survivors.

This panel discussion will explore the ways in which white supremacy plays out in the mental health system and movement spaces, and how we can draw upon traditional knowledge and lived experience to create more accountable, effective, and healing-centered alternatives. The success of the movement for transformative mental health depends upon our collective ability to imagine a different world, and to move others to action with these creative visions. To that end, panelists will share their experiences building and sustaining care systems that prioritize well-being, autonomy, and dignity. IDHA seeks to uplift a spectrum of formal to informal strategies, as well as those that can be deployed in and outside the public mental health system.
