Mental Health In the Solarpunk community? (slrpnk.net)

So I have noticed from reading through posts and my own research that there isn't much information on how mental health and psychology would be taken care of and implemented. I could very well be wrong and would appreciate anyone's pointing me to an initial resource in order to understand more. And if it hasn't been confronted as a problem, I would like to ruminate with others on what those possibilities could look like. We can't eschew mental health.

I don't know much about what your specific needs are, but I do agree with your general premise, which was supposed to be the jump off point to conversation.

However, your personal input is just as important as the advocates. Because if solarpunk is supposed to be community-based, making sure you are comfortable, and a comfortable member, of that community is imperative to not only your mental health but the mental wellness of the community. And for that, I feel like this discussion should include everyone.

I find, even among those without special needs, mental health is not correctly taken care of in a revolutionary community of any kind. And we risk a better environment and stagnating mental health system without understanding and questioning these possibilities.

I might have misread the bottom of your post, so just never mind that in regards to you being part of the discussion. I'll leave my post so others know though.
