Guest Karen Hixson talks with host Paul Roland
- As our collective mental health takes a hit during the COVID-19 pandemic, let’s gather to discuss how to manage this struggle with harm reduction techniques and radical mental health perspectives in mind.
- We will consider ways to meet ourselves where we’re at rather than feel pressured to perform productivity & wellness
- We will discuss ways to ground ourselves in our values and practices of mutual aid to support our collective well-being in this challenging time.
