A Perch for the Thornbirds
A social justice–oriented grassroots organization for critical and radical mental health. We begin with lived experience and build alliances with dissenting voices across disciplines. Through art and other creative practices, we question the social conditions and power relations behind distress, and create spaces for dialogue, civic participation and collective action.
