Creating Our Mental Health

Join us for a special edition of Creating Our Mental Health on Saturday June 24, 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm (Eastern Time), in honor of Juneteenth and as a part of the Freedom Festival. Creating our Mental Health (COMH) is a free, monthly, drop-in, community conversation which is open to all people from around the U.S. and around the world on Zoom. COMH began 12 years ago, after we went out on the streets and spoke to people in our communities about mental health.

In COMH we collectively engage the emotional and mental health impacts of ongoing structural racism, poverty and injustice in the work of the collective transformation of all of us and our world.

Join Rachel Mickenberg, Jessie Fields, Hugh Polk and the Creating Our Mental Health group members for a celebration of the life and work of Dr. Lenora B. Fulani, of the All Stars Project and UX, out of which Creating Our Mental Health was developed. We look forward to celebrating the freedom and independence to create environments that actively help us all grow.

Creating our Mental Health is sponsored by the East Side Institute, an international center for the study of social therapeutics and performance activism—bringing human and community development to the forefront of culture, change and social transformation, and promoting alternative and radically humanizing approaches to psychology, education and community building.
