Mad Students Society presents: Re/Membering Day
https://www.facebook.com/events/280265282094487/
What? A peer support meeting
When? Thursday, November 8 from 4:30 - 6:30pm
Where? McMaster University. Email [email protected] ciety.com for details.
Who? Students (from any college, university, or adult education course/program) who have personal experiences with psychiatric systems, madness, mental illness, mental health disabilities, etc.
The month of November is known for at least two important days related to ‘Mad’ or consumer/survivor communities (networks of people who have personal experiences with psychiatric/mental health systems): Remembrance Day (November 11) and Transgender Day of Remembrance (November 20). Violence, in its many forms, is responsible for a lot of suffering. It is often used against Mad people and interrelated marginalized groups.
On November 8th, join your peers to talk about the people/places/pasts/pets/perspectives that you’ve been remembering (and/or trying to forget) lately. Participate in re/membering - connecting with a growing Mad Student network in Hamilton to reaffirm our individual and collective stories. Of course there will be plenty of time to discuss whatever else is on (and in) our minds...!
Can’t make the meeting? Looking for other support? Join our active, private, email discussion listserv to continue this and other conversations.
Questions? Directions? For further info, location details, or to join the listserv, email Elizabeth and Alisa at [email protected] ciety.com.
Mad Students Society (MSS), created in 2005, is a community of students who are attending or planning to attend post-secondary or adult education institutions and have personal past/present experiences with psychiatric/mental health systems. We meet monthly (in downtown Toronto, North York, and Hamilton) and communicate through an email listserv to support each other, discover tools for self-advocacy, and connect with our history and broader social movements.
