DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION: An exploration and discussion of the history, treatment, and 
 politics of "madness" that radical folks face when dealing with their 
 mental health. We'll address topics like: How has madness been defined? 
 Does mental illness exist? How can we navigate the system if we need to? 
 What alternatives are available? How can we learn effective self-care? What 
 is the history of the emotional   extremes commonly labeled as mental 
 illness? What can we do in times of crisis? How can we apply principles of 
 harm reduction? What are the politics behind mental health treatment in 
 this country? How are experiences of mental health/mental illness affected 
 by race, class, gender, and sexual orientation? How does trauma, both 
 psychological   and physical, affect our mental health?  This class will be 
 held EVERY TUESDAY through the end of August.  "Teacher Bio": the Bay Area 
 Radical Mental Health Collective is a group of people who have all 
 struggled with mental health problems either in their own lives or as 
 allies to friends and family. We are trying to open discussion about 
 alternatives, provide resources, and get dialogue going about mental health 
 in the radical community.  This class is part of a Free School that has 
 recently started in the East Bay.  All classes are DROP-IN FRIENDLY. For a
