Join my good friend & fellow art therapist sarj (they/them) and I in a conversation on: debunking the DSM, decolonizing mental health care, how policing can be seen in many different areas such as in psychiatric hospital settings, the prison system, the military, and the literal police force! We also discuss the concept of abolition and the importance of DEFUNDING THE POLICE!
