đŸ¥²MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT AT MISERY ON SUNDAYđŸ¥²
in addition to the soothing workshops & healing offerings from our vendors, we endeavour to have a mental health professional / signposter / someone who can facilitate & hold some of the more raw emotions that are naturally present at our events & in life. to be clear, we do not believe in the idea of mental health experts - we are all the experts of our own bodies & minds. dunno about you but we have learnt the hard way that those who pose as having interest or expertise in community wellness do not always have honest, dignified or aligned intentions. trust your gut & stay alert, no matter who ur talking to & what they say they believe in.
we do however believe there’s huge value in consensually sharing our burdens, and speaking to others about where and how you might access the best support for yourself, based on your needs. it’s a misery tradition to bring mental healthcare to the club afterall...
at Sunday’s still here summer fayre, Kennedy Walker (they/them) will be your go-to person. Kennedy is a trauma-informed coach and facilitator and is currently training as a counsellor at the Gestalt Centre in London. Explore with them what starting therapy is like and chat about the different options and approaches there are. Talk through any fears, curiosities or hesitations with seeking help you have, or just go do some nice breathing in a quiet space with a gentle witness <3
Kennedy will be working from 4 - 7pm. There will be a sign up sheet on their door where you can put your name down or draw an X at the 20min slot you’d like. First come first served girlies. free with a pay what u can ticket x
