Mental Health Cafe Interest
Mental Health Cafe is a mutual aid support space for conversations around mental illness, madness, trauma, neurodiversity, disability, and other conceptualizations of mental health. We are currently meeting virtually every Thursday (new day of the week) from 5:00 - 7:00pm EST (sometimes via Zoom, sometimes via Discord). Our Zoom support spaces have live, AI-generated closed captioning available.
Mental Health Cafe is not meant to be a substitute for professional mental health treatment, and we do not have mental health professionals present in this capacity. Unlike some traditional mental health support groups, Mental Health Cafe does not enforce treatment compliance or adhere to purely medical model views. Our space is a welcoming space for all conceptualizations of mental health. Our radical mental health community agreements are to uphold a space of anti-oppression, autonomy and self-determination, community care, liberation, and privacy.
IMPORTANT: Mental Health Cafe is currently limited to people who are attending for their own support. Observers (media, students, providers, and anyone else wanting to come for any reason other than to explore their own experiences) are not able to attend at this time.
