Mental Health Cafe – October Edition

For October’s Mental Health Cafe, join the Inside Our Minds Team for conversation and peer support at Biddle’s Escape. Plus, Halloween! (We’ll bring some spooky candy).

Mental Health Cafe is a monthly community conversation on mental health, mental illness, and madness over coffee and treats. The event will focus on informal discussions and friendly peer support / mutual aid in a welcoming space for all. People are invited to participate actively or passively, or just listen.

Important Notes: Mental Health Cafe is a space for peers and allies to have open conversations that represent a wide variety of opinions and beliefs, some of which everyone may not agree with. As a community, we expect everyone to hold respectful conversations. Anyone who personally attacks, harasses, or discriminates against another community member will be asked to leave and will be potentially banned from future events.

Mental Health Cafe is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment. We are also NOT a support group. We can only provide friendly peer support and conversation. 🙂
