What does it mean to be mad under capitalism, and who gets to decide?

In this workshop, we’ll dig into how capitalism shapes our experiences of madness and mental health, and why Western psychiatry so often gets it wrong. We’ll look at the roots of the UK’s current mental health crisis, imagine what a liberated future could look like, and talk tactics for organising and campaigning through a radical mental health lens.
