Fw: Two Upcoming Screenings of "Medicating Normal"

[margaret turner]

Just forwarding another event that may interest some 'exchangers'.

I saw the film a while ago, to me it was shocking but sadly not at all surprising. It really hurts to see parents of young people so trusting of psychiatrists that they persuade their children to keep taking meds against their wishes and better judgement.

But we live in a toxic world, not only forcing drugs onto people in the mental health system but pushing chemicals and harmful practices on indigenous people's land, and causing catastrophic losses in the natural world - a sixth mass extinction. 

So how do you 'treat' 'eco-anxiety'? - there is a 'Climate Cafe' meeting at the Phoenix on Wednesdays at 10.30am where feelings can be expressed and there is mutual support.

Margaret.
