Abolition in Practice Group : What do anti-psychiatry and abolition mean to and for us?

This is a free, monthly, online, peer-led space for Black People and People of Colour * collectively working toward mental health justice, racial justice, and abolition—whether through activism, advocacy, peer support, or community care. Grounded in intentional peer support principles, it’s a space for connection, reflection, and learning outside of harmful systems. 

The theme of this workshop is:  Decolonizing mental health, reframing madness and history of othering and carceral practices 

Main resources: ‘There is no abolition without anti-psychiatry’: The Fight for Psychiatric Abolition- Campaign for Psychiatric Abolition
