Transforming Mental Health: Histories of Resistance and Cross Movement Strategies for a Liber

Noah Gokul Nia Nelson The Institute for the Development of Human Arts (IDHA) is a transformative mental health training institute dedicated to systemic change and holistic care. In this workshop, we will examine the carceral underpinnings of the mental health system – how it perpetuates white supremacy, racial hierarchies, and logics of surveillance, coercion, and control – while exploring opportunities for systemic transformation. Through an intersectional lens, participants will engage with histories of resistance, both within and outside the formal mental health system, that center lived experience and address the root causes of trauma and distress. Uplifting a cross-movement approach, this session will draw connections between movements for mental health liberation, disability justice, racial justice, and more, inviting participants to envision and co-create pathways toward care systems grounded in justice, autonomy, and collective liberation.
