Following Mental Health Awareness Week this month, we at The Rights Collective, together with Alternative Justice and Expert By Experience, are holding two drop-in support spaces for our communities. We know it's been a challenging time for many - from dealing with an ease in the lockdown rules to seeing our comrades in India suffer through their second wave and an oppressive government to full on genocide being enacted on our siblings in Palestine. We hope these spaces can provide community and a space to be heard and connect.
Both circles will be facilitated by experienced community members and will hold space based on mutual respect and trust. Our facilitators aim to cultivate and foster a safe and open space for our community to come together to listen, speak to one another, and be heard without judgement.
Please read the details below before signing up.
*** Sunday May 30th, at 4pm - 5.00pm BST ***
