YOUth ACT will be hosting a reflective and interactive Zoom session on mental health with the feminist psychologists from Safo Space. Challenging the way mental health is usually viewed, the conversation will center around an intersectional perspective on mental health, with an emphasis on moving away from a “healing” focus in mental health care, and on collective care. Why is it important that mental health is seen more as a disorder? How does this affect treatment? What role does intersectionality play? What is meant by collective care, and how does it relate to self-care? How is it connected with the idea of safe spaces, and what are its benefits?

YOUth ACT is a student run, community-based hub for youth activism and entrepreneurship in Amsterdam with the aim to offer potential activists and entrepreneurs opportunities to acquire practical skills, develop actionable ideas, and diversify their network.
