QTIPoC Narratives' Alternative Mental Health Questionnaire
🌻This is a questionnaire about the QTIPoC Narratives Collective Alternative Mental Health Space. If you are QTIPoC, we would be very grateful if you would take the time to fill this out for us! Your answers will determine the content of the sessions.
We are holding community space which approaches mental health holistically. If you are QTIPoC in East Sussex, we would like to encourage you to take space and share your skills! You are more than welcome to only join in as a participant. However, for those who are also interested in leading sessions, we have secured funding in order to pay a set fee of £50 to each of the two facilitators who will be holding a community drop-in session.
We will also be able to reserve a small number of facilitation spaces for QTIPoC outside of East Sussex.
Our sessions will aim to build resilience; increase self-esteem through skill and knowledge sharing; and reduce isolation by boosting community engagement, support and cohesion.
Most importantly our sessions are created and facilitated by the community, for the community. We believe that between us, we have the skills to share our hard won tools with one another and support the QTIPoC community on our individual journeys towards healing.
Due to the current COVID-19 situation, while lockdown continues, we will be holding sessions online via the platform "Zoom". We are very excited about our cook-along classes and craft based workshops, which will allow us to deliver ingredients / material parcels to those local to Brighton and Hove. We are aware that food poverty was a real issue in our communities before the pandemic and the accessibility of food is only decreasing. We hope this will be helpful in these hard times. 🌻
