Seeding Transformative Community: IDHA Membership Open House

Are you an activist, educator, artist, or care provider passionate about transforming how we understand and approach mental health? Are you interested in joining a growing community that is collectively seeding that change, while embodying the values of the world we wish to see? Have you felt drawn towards IDHA’s work, perhaps wondering how you can deepen your relationship to it?

On Tuesday, May 30 from 6:30-8 pm EST, IDHA is hosting a membership “open house” as an opportunity to experience the power of our community firsthand, and learn more about membership. Being a member of IDHA means that you share our vision of transformative mental health, and align with our organizational principles and values. By becoming a member, you join a growing community of mental health change makers and gain access to a handful of exciting perks and opportunities.

The evening will feature an art showcase and panel discussion featuring several current IDHA members, as well as share information about membership and different ways to get involved with our work. We especially encourage those who are curious and seeking to learn more about IDHA to join us.

Since officially launching membership at the end of 2020, we’ve seen our network grow in such inspiring ways. We would love to share this night with you, to celebrate how far we've come and make space to seed creative visions for our shared future.

Register in advance via Eventbrite to join. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about how to join.
