When Help Hurts: reclaiming self during Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal and Recovery

A Creative Workshop Exploring Self, Expression, and the Stories We Carry
Angie Peacock & Jessica Fairfax Hirst, survivor & artist

Join us online for an educational, artistic and experiential workshop

Angie and Jessica offer a glimpse into a largely hidden world of profound emotional and physical crises that are caused or worsened by psychiatric medications, their adverse effects and discontinuation.

The presentation explores:

  • Putting words to the harm that can be caused by conventional treatment

  • How these states are interpreted—or misinterpreted—by dominant medical frameworks and the people in our lives

  • Alternative ways of understanding these experiences outside the dominant narratives

  • There will be a live art and writing workshop and open (and optional) share among attendees
