Mad Maps Webinar

Register

Mad Maps are wellness documents that help us to navigate our emotional terrains, particularly as they relate to issues like oppression and trauma. In our Mad Maps workshop participants examine the way oppression impacts our perspectives and experiences of mental health, and explore non-judgmental approaches to emotional wellbeing, as well as build strategies for coping with and transforming individual struggles, especially in the larger context of social injustice. 

This webinar will have live captioning and live Spanish interpretation. If you cannot join at this time, register at the same link to receive a recording of the webinar afterwards.
