We speak of non-carceral care in our dreams of a more liberatory approach to mental health and crisis response, but what does that really look like in practice? What does an abolitionist care praxis look like on the ground and in our communities?

Houseless folks, institutionalized people, & those in carceral mental health settings are often denied AC, water, or the right to leave overheated environments.

Extreme heat isn't just a medical issue. It's an abolitionist issue.🌿

#PsychAbolition #PsychMeds #DisabilityJustice #MutualAid
If you or someone you love is on psych meds: Drink water before you’re thirsty; Avoid direct sun during peak hours; Seek shade, AC, cooling centers, or even just wet towels/fans; Check in on others who might not know they’re at risk; If you’re tapering or coming off meds, do so with care & support; Mutual aid saves lives. Systems don’t. Accessible ways of staying cool: Use wet washcloths or cool packs (frozen veggies from the freezer) on your wrists, neck, groin, behind your knees, and under your arms; Mist your skin with a spray bottle and sit near a fan; Take a sponge bath with lukewarm water while seated or lying down; If drinking water is hard, try: ice chips, fruits like melons or cucumbers, herbal teas, broths, or electrolyte powders in water; Keep your space cooler by blocking sunlight (blackout curtains, aluminum foil, cardboard boxes); Hang a damp sheet in front of a fan; Stay low (since heat rises); Avoid layers and tight clothing

☀️🔥Extreme heat & psych meds: Did you know that psychiatric meds can impair the body’s ability to sweat, regulate temperature, or sense thirst? 🧊

As temps rise, folks on psych meds are at higher risk of heat stroke, dehydration, & medical crises.

#PsychAbolition #ExtremeHeat #PsychMeds #MutualAid
Graphic with Project LETS logo on the bottom, and it reads, "Extreme Heat and Psychiatric Medications" Psychiatric meds can impair the body's ability to sweat, regulate temperature, or sense thirst. As temperatures rise, folks on psychiatric medications are at higher risk of heat stroke, dehydration, and medical crises-- especially antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and some antidepressants. This isn’t just a medical issue. It’s an abolitionist issue. Houseless folks, institutionalized people, and those in carceral mental health settings are often denied AC, water, or the right to leave overheated environments. Many are forced onto meds without (informed) consent or support to taper safely. Extreme weather is yet another way systemic neglect becomes lethal.

The psychiatric carceral state holds our people's healing tools hostage.

We are entitled to all options and pathways that we choose - that we deem to be supportive and helpful and necessary for our own bodies, minds, and spirits.

#PsychSurvivorsSpeak
#PsychiatricAbolition
#HandsOffOurMeds
The state should never be in charge of determining who is autistic or not, who is Mad or not, who "really needs" meds or not. These are the people's tools that have been held hostage by the institution of psychiatry. The psychiatric carceral state holds our people's healing tools hostage. Gatekept and barred behind insurance and instittuional education and licensure and carceral / colonial ideologies and practices meant to disempower us from taking action in our own communities, politically identifying as an oppressed group, and recognizing the root of our distress and suffering. Our struggles have always been interconnected. The skills of discernment and nuance will be critical as we move forward in our liberatory resistance work. We must remember that our individual right to access medication should not bypass our collective solidarity with psychiatric survivors and psychiatrized people who have experienced iatrogenic harm* at the hands of psychiatry and psychiatric medications.

Psychiatric abolition is about MORE options, not less.

It is about THE PEOPLE and our community members (not the state or carceral medical systems) helping to meet each other's needs and maintaining access to all kinds of medications, including psychiatric medications, in an accessible way.
The problem is not inherently the pills - the problem is whose pills the hands are in, the force, the lack of options, the lack of consent, the experimentation, the lies and narrative myths of chemical imbalances that have sought to biologize and pathologize our experiences as Mad and Disabled and neurodivergent people and psych survivors and people experiencing oppression, colonial and imperial violence, and social discrimination.

Two things can be true at once:

1) The government should never be in control of our access to any meds, including psych meds.

2) Psych meds have damaged & harmed many people in devastating ways.

That is not a conspiracy theory from the government. That is our reality as psychiatric survivors.

That is not a conspiracy theory from the government. That is our reality as psychiatric survivors. The state should never control access to psychiatric medications AND psychiatrized people deserve agency, informed consent, and the dignity of our histories of harm and psychiatric abuse not being erased. Graphic of a poster from 1962 with the bold headline: Warning! Mental Patients are Notorious DRUG EVADERS As consumers of psychiatric drugs, we deserve honest and transparent conversations about why and how they work (and further, what we even mean by "work"), the risks and side effects involved, what other options are available, and how to get off if and when we want to. Graphic of an advertisement for the drug Serax (oxazepam) containing a photo of a housewife surrounded by cleaning supplies. The bolded text reads: You can't set her free. But you can help her feel less anxious. The Mad Liberation and psychiatric survivor movement has a long history of providing free, accessible, and transparent information on psychiatric drugs and their side effects to community members.
