Title of Event: Moving Beyond Safety: Solidarity, Mutual Entanglement, and Erotic Embodiment
Many of us may want desperately to explore erotic embodiment and have mind-blowing sexual/sensual/kink experiences, but actually doing so can feel tremendously edgy and risky—particularly given that most of us hold various forms of trauma in our bodies.
Title of Event: Rejecting Mandated Reporting
Rejecting Mandated Reporting explores the harm embedded in mandated reporting practices by examining the social work, psychotherapy and colonial mental health systems. Participants will critically examine the role of diagnostic authority, the distinction between neglect vs unmet need and the parallels between involuntary hospitalization and incarceration. The workshop will also introduce concrete alternatives and community-centered approaches that support client safety without surveillance.
