Emotional Safety Plans (Mad Maps) are documents we create that help us to navigate our emotional terrains, particularly as they relate to issues like oppression and trauma. In Fireweed Collective&#8217;s Mad Mapping workshop, we will explore anti-oppressive approaches to emotional wellbeing, as well as build strategies for coping with and transforming individual struggles, especially in the larger context of social injustice. Join us as we learn about emotional safety planning and explore what we need to feel supported in our relationships and communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This workshop will take place from 6\u20138 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button warning radius\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/mad-mapping-a-guide-to-creating-an-emotional-safety-plan-tickets-256513578017\">ATTEND<\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Conference Detail<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/staging\/2435\/event\/living-in-madness-decolonization-creation-healing\/\">47th annual Scholar and Feminist Conference<\/a> organized by BCRW is entitled &#8220;Living in Madness: Decolonization, Creation, Healing.&#8221; The conference will be virtual and sessions will take place over a period of weeks from February to April, 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This conference will explore experiences of madness, disability, survival, and refusal<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through the frameworks of mad studies, disability justice, and artistic practice. <\/span>Scholars, artists, activists, and practitioners will interrogate structures of medicalization and institutionalization, engaging in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dialogue about the entanglement of psy-disciplines with colonial and nation-building projects predicated on scientific racism, misogyny, xenophobia, transphobia, and eugenics. We ask how structural violence has both created maddening conditions and established the terms by which survivors are pathologized, criminalized and alienated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the questions we want to explore are those posed by conference panelist Camille Robcis in her intellectual history of institutional psychotherapy, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disalienation: Politics, Philosophy, and Radical Psychiatry in Postwar France<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2021), specifically how movements that have attempted to decolonize and otherwise contest the practices of psychiatry can provide us with frameworks to understand our own positioning vis-\u00e0-vis \u201cthe permanence of extreme-right movements, fascisms real and \u2018in our heads,\u2019 still spreading and gaining force throughout the world.\u201d We take inspiration as well from our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=z8ub-pHRvTM&amp;t=1s\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fall 2021 event with La Marr Jurelle Bruce<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, whose critical discourse about madness encompasses unruliness, radical creativity, and rage in the face of systems that have used the concept of Blackness as disability to foreclose the possibilities of Black freedom. Our conference dialogues will also engage calls for intersectional approaches to abolition and decarceralization address disability and madness, and the imperative to center the experiences of indigenous and Palestinian people resisting psychic oppression while living under occupation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The impetus for this conference comes as we collectively persist while a virus has exposed structural violence and inadequacy of <\/span>profit-based systems of care<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and we are also confronted with increased ecological fragility. We are now understandably asking questions about the shakiness of human experience, and how to reckon with what might be called \u201cunlivable states of mind.\u201d War, ecological destruction, land dispossession, occupation and policing, precarious access to shelter, and confinement in a total institution are among the conditions that are maddening, and yet upheld by powerful schemas that place value on profit, property, and hierarchy over collective wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Gathering together, we explore potential modes of healing. Like seeds we plant without knowing which will root, we pursue collectivity and creativity in order to keep living.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Accessibility<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Live transcription and ASL interpretation will be provided.
