SUMMARY:Mental Health Peer Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Mental Health Support Group is an opportunity for Disabled-identifying people and those exploring their relationship to disability identity to share and hold space for one another in an accessible and virtual setting. During the group\, we will share our current concerns\, our thoughts/emotions\, and offer support to one another through validation\, encouragement\, and even practical ideas to cope. This group will explore art as an emotional outlet as well. \n\n\n\nRegister/RSVP for the Group Here \n\n\n\nSummer Schedule: \n\n\n\nMonday\, June 6th : 5:00 – 6:30pmMonday\, June 20th : 5:00 – 6:30pmNo Group on July 4thMonday\, July 11th : 5:00 – 6:30pm (make-up date)Monday\, July 18th : 5:00 – 6:30pmMonday\, August 1st : 5:00 – 6:30pmMonday\, August 8th : 5:00 – 6:30pm (make-up date)No Group on August 15thMonday\, August 22nd : 5:00 – 6:30pm\n\n\n\n\n     \n    \n    Bri Beck \n          Arts & Culture Project Coordinator \n              bbeck@accessliving.org \n              (312) 640-2170 \n      \n      \n      View bio\n    \n  \n\n\nFacilitator:Disabled and disability-affirming art therapist Bri Beck\, LCPC\, ATR-P is a therapist in private practice and also an Arts and Culture coordinator with Access Living.

DCAL is a platform for creative advocacy projects and disability allyship training. In partnership with Access Living’s Arts and Culture Project\, DCAL provides teaching and hands-on learning guided by disability justice–a framework that examines disability in connection to other forms of oppressions and identities. Using a peer support and collective care model\, disability community members and art therapy graduate students collaborate as disability culture makers for social change. \n\n\n\nThis program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
