Two waves (1950s & 1970s) of systemic deinstitutionalisation and there are more “beds” than before; they just look different.

Busting the Deinstitutionalization Myth: We Actually Have More Beds Than Ever Before
New data upends common beliefs about asylum closures, deinstitutionalization, and rates of psychiatric coercion.

Mad Crip doula: offering holistic and emotional spiritual bodymind care, mixed with practical and crisis support (and plant medicine). moving from a liberation-centered and anti-oppressive lens. a transition doula with skills in: abortion, death, grief, Madness, and Disability.

stefaniekaufman.com/madcripdou

endorsing: non-carceral, peer-led mental health care systems that exist outside of the state, reimagining everything we’ve come to learn about madness, and intervening in systems that oppress, disappear, and kill Disabled and mad folks.

Please Note: I don’t know Them in any capacity and They sure look bad-ass

The 19th - Newly disabled people aren’t given a ‘how-to’ guide. Disability doulas are closing those gaps.

Disability doula. Peer support. Social support. Physical support. Cultural roots.


Newly disabled people aren’t given a ‘how-to’ guide. Disability doulas are closing those gaps.
The community care practice, pioneered by queer women of color, reorients newly disabled people to a different life

@Mrfunkedude This is also part of my motivation with and indeed how it's been working - people making those connections of the of climate change, thoughts, feelings, ideas, actions across the globe. I feel the Fediverse is perfect for building these kinds of communities and connections

Open Minded Online
sharing ideas and resources about holistic approaches to emotional and social wellbeing

We are two people who both have a great passion for holistic approaches to mental health. This passion has grown out of our own experiences of receiving traditional psychiatric treatment and finding it lacking.

We believe that it is possible to make sense of intense states of mind often described as psychosis.

@shekinahcancook @asbestos @DavidNielsen @MugsysRapSheet @DrALJONES @DemocracyMattersALot As an unapologetic atheist with a strong interest in physiology and psychology (and especially where the two intersect) I feel that there are actually ways to challenge people's "lived experience" but you aren't going to get it by ranting about God not existing.

Instead I like to use replicable evidence that we absolutely *cannot* trust our senses intrinsically to represent a singular not-open-to-interpretation "reality" with fun experiences like brainstorm / green needle and yanny / laurel, and things like the good ol' magic eye pictures. Our perceptions are *always* subjective. We often see what we *want* to see, and "objective" reality is itself often not absolute. A person with even a tiny amount of humility and acceptance of these phenomena as not absolute will be able to then consider that their "lived experience" is not absolute, and if they don't suffer a complete existential crisis and mental breakdown, come out the other side recognising that their "lived experience" may have simply been wishful thinking.

I also don't believe everything is a "path to the divine" - I believe the *idea* of a path to the Divine is very attractive to many people though, it is comforting to believe there's some meaning to life, or that there's some Ur-parent eternally looking after us: but I don't believe it's a very mature way of looking at the world.

I'd love to be able to put numbers on these thoughts about and on as opposed to the corporate internet, and have actually toyed with the idea of running some informal cross-platform polls, although I don't know if I would.

If anyone knows any published literature on these questions, I'd love to see it.

Can some people from the community help me out? I want to know more about it and I’ve done some reading (which has been super useful in getting a broad sense of things) but I’d like to know more about the lived experience. So, if you can help, that’d be great, and I thank you in advance.

There was a time in my life when I never talked about my .

Reflecting back on this, I realize it is because of shame and stigma.

I lacked the right words to articulate my experience.

Most of all, it is because I was still in it. It was too painful for me to disclose my grief and trauma.

With time, reflection, and self-work, I have been able to heal.

Healing has allowed me to share my truth.

A wounded healer.
