BACKGROUND: ABOUT T-MAPS
Transformative Mutual Aid Practices (T-MAPs) are a set of tools that provide space for building a personal “map” of wellness strategies, resilience practices, unique stories, and community resources. Creating a T-MAP will inspire you to connect your struggle to collective struggles. When we make and share our T-MAPs with others they become potent tools for healing and liberation.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Mutual aid begins with knowing what we need and how to ask for it.
On Thursday, March 26th, IDHA is offering a two-hour virtual T-MAPs workshop that responds to a new reality shaped by the spread of COVID-19. We will explore how to take better care of ourselves and how to communicate with the people in our lives about our mental health needs during this time of crisis.
The group will review meeting agreements, do brief check-ins, and then receive a series of brief writing prompts. Expect to talk to strangers and make some new friends. There will be space for brainstorming and sharing resources. We want to make this space to be accessible to anyone who is struggling to figure out how to survive enough to engage with larger movements for change.
There is a 100 person capacity for this event so be sure to register in advance: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/vJUpc-6hrjkpLq9IgHHSwioExDA1soBzYw
