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'd love to hear them.

it is clear to me that you have a completely different view of mental health

I career changed out of the psychology field quite some time ago, and even then I only worked a specific subset; so that will obviously influence my biases, though I'm pretty sure I'm awaiof all of them. I also try to keep current, but will never claim recency.

Has the mental health continuum/scale changed? I may have some archaisms or mis-translations in there.

I'd be interested in what's biasing your views of mental health to help us find common ground.

I don't think you have taken a lot of [transitional, disability, racial, gender, information, educational of other information] into account in your response.

Correct. These are environmental factors to mental health, and they wildy vary. These need to be considered regionally and individually, but nomoreso than they already are. These also can't be considered wholesale for all of solarpunk because of their regional nature. I

f you have one specific solarpunk community, we can certainly dive in; but I can't think of any that would apply to all solarpunk and only solarpunk. That's not to say their aren't any, maybe you have some ideas?

it is clear to me that you have a completely different view [of] what solarpunk looks like.

Our views probably diverge from the solarpunk manifesto. I take a more activist than scifi view, if that helps us find common ground.

I look forward to hearing your response. My guess is I have the professional background and you have the visionary spirit. This can often lead to a great partnership.
