East Bay Free Skool Class: DIY Depression Counseling

DIY Depression Counseling is a non-hierarchal, non-judgmental group discussion for anyone of any age or gender to come together and talk about their feelings, fears, relationship or personal problems, views on society and how it makes us feel we are alone in our problems and mental well-being, emotional scarring after dealing with police brutality, etc. Often sometimes in the punk or activist scene we either ignore our personal feelings and emotional well being of ourselves and others, and restrict these discussions with only close friends, while group discussions are sometimes viewed as “righteous” or “irrelevant” thus keeping us from even talking about our personal lives in fear of being ostracized from our peers. Helping each other through tough emotional times and keeping ourselves from going insane from our own minds is a key factor in building a healthy community and scene. We are all fucking depressed, so let’s talk about it and help each other out!!
