Background image is an illustration of a person with a purpley-pink afro whose face is being pulled away from their head and body as they scream and cry. The image is set against a background of multicoloured tiles. In the foreground, white text reads: Psychiatric Abolition. In Practice. Psychiatric abolition is rooted in creating care and networks of support outside of psychiatric systems. It is a position that involves dismantling the coercive state power held within psychiatry, and nourishing community-based means of care for people navigating mental health crises. Featuring: it’s ok, you’re ok by Jahia LaSangoma. We Are With You by Lydia Rose. The Light Between the Shadows by Dionne O’Shannon. Beyond Pills: Mapping Community Care through Memorabilia by Divya Mahatme. Ondas by Jasmine Kahlia. Community grieving in the endz by Sara Bafo.
