SUMMARY:Fall Mental Health Peer Support Group (virtual) with Access Living
DESCRIPTION:The Peer Mental Health Support Group is an opportunity for Disabled-identifying people and those exploring their relationship to disability identity to share and hold space for one another in an accessible and virtual setting. \nFacilitated by disabled art therapist Bri Beck\, LCPC\, ATR\, this group is meant to offer an opportunity for participants to share current concerns\, thoughts/emotions\, and offer support to others through validation\, encouragement\, and even practical ideas to cope. This group will also explore art as an emotional outlet. \nThis group is not considered\, nor should it be a substitute for traditional group therapy\, however\, topics of mental health\, emotional wellness\, self-advocacy\, and healthy relationships will be addressed in a structured and confidential space. Participants may attend as many or as little group meetings as needed.

Belin\, Su Cho\, Suzi F. Garcia\, and Ashley M.

The name of the series honors the legacy of Poetry’s founding editor Harriet Monroe\, who declared in 1912\, “The Open Door will be the policy of this magazine—may the great poet we are looking for never find it shut\, or half-shut.” \nThis is a hybrid event\, which will be offered in-person and via livestream. \nEsther G.

Suzi is a CantoMundo Fellow\, a Macondista\, a Lambda Literary Fellow\, and participated in the first ever Poetry Incubator at the Poetry Foundation. She has served as a CantoMundo steering committee member\, CantoMundo regional director\, and a board member for the Latinx Caucus. \nAshley M. Jones is the poet laureate of Alabama. She is the first person of color and the youngest person to hold this position in its 93 year existence. Jones is the author of three award-winning poetry collections\, most recently Reparations Now! She is the co-editor of WHAT THINGS COST: An Anthology for the People. Her work has been featured by CNN\, the BBC\, Good Morning America\, ABC News\, and the New York Times.
