FCP’s Community Bulletin Board

A space where we share upcoming events, programs, and opportunities from peer organizations in mental health and community care. It’s our way of staying connected and helping spread the word about work we admire.

  • Join IDHA for an in-person screening and discussion about the film Where Olive Trees Weep.

    This documentary offers a searing window into the realities of life under Israeli occupation. Filmed in the occupied West Bank, it weaves together the voices of journalists, therapists, grassroots organizers, and survivors to explore the enduring impact of colonization, intergenerational trauma, and the deep roots of Palestinian resilience. Through stories of displacement, imprisonment, and everyday resistance, the film grapples with the human cost of ongoing occupation – and collective yearning for justice, dignity, and healing.

    This event is open to mental health workers and clinicians, researchers, educators, activists, survivors, peers, current and prior service users, writers, artists, and other advocates – anyone who is interested in exploring the link between personal and societal transformation.

      IDHA’s 2025 training series, Tending the Future of Care: Practices & Possibilities for Transformative Mental Health, is for those interested in reshaping and reimagining what mental health care can look like at the edge of collapse – and committed to creating a more liberatory future together. Whether you're working in clinical spaces, organizing communities, supporting loved ones, or navigating your own lived experience, this space offers grounding, practical tools, and the chance to connect with others committed to challenging the status quo.

      The landscape of care is under strain – and many of us are feeling the weight of it. Amid the erosion of public health infrastructure, the expansion of carceral mental health practices, and the stress of our sociopolitical conditions, those on the frontlines of care are stretched thin, facing burnout with few places to turn for support. The role of mental health professionals is increasingly contested – caught between systems of harm and aspirations for healing. Dominant models offer few answers, often reducing suffering to symptoms and prescribing narrow solutions to the layered realities people are living through.

      This series offers frameworks, strategies, and practices to help you deepen your capacity – not just to navigate the crises of our time, but to support others in ways that are both personally sustaining and collectively transformative. Grounded in lessons from history, our faculty will draw on the wisdom of those who have worked to transform mental health care, both within and beyond systems. Rather than seeking certainty or closure, we will strengthen our ability to stay with the unknown and cultivate healing approaches that are values-aligned and responsive.

      Classes will be participatory and collaborative, rooted in the belief that no single expert holds the answers – we hold them together. We’ll build on the knowledge in the room, weaving insights from a range of disciplines, movements, and lived experiences. This five-part series is a space to replenish, reconnect, and remember that another way of providing care is not only possible – it’s already in motion.
