Resisting Burnout with Collective Care and Solidarity - October 13 & 20
Join our upcoming workshop series: Resisting Burnout with Collective Care and Solidarity with Vikki Reynolds, Phd All volunteers welcome!
Vikki will lead us through a two session workshop series on mental health in mutual aid work. In these workshops, we’ll be discussing vicarious trauma and burnout and how to resist this with collective care and solidarity.
We will examine the mean and hate -filled politics of the opioid catastrophe and homelessness and consider solidarity and justice-doing as a way of taking care of one another in this work that goes beyond the limits of self care.
To make these workshops more accessible, we will be hosting two sets of this series so that folks have more dates to choose from (October 13 & 20 OR October 24 & November 7)
