Creating Our Mental Health

In this UX community conversation, social therapists and faculty members of the East Side Institute will explore – through conversation and performance – how individuals, families and communities can build environments in which we can begin, and continue, to create our mental health. We will explore questions like: How do we help ourselves, our children and loved ones who are suffering from depression or anxiety?  Do psychiatric diagnoses help or hurt? What are our experiences with the mental health system and what are community-based alternatives that can support our emotional development?  How do we create new ways to see, feel and become?
