Power Together TN is listening to your needs. This meeting is for activists, organizers, and participants, who want to learn how to stay effective and sustain our long term involvement in social justice movements.
If you feel anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed — this meeting is for you. If you want to ensure that you can manage activist related anxiety and other concerns if they should affect you or your friends — this meeting is for you.
We have invited Melanie Sudbury, a local mental health professional and PTTN activist, to come share tips on taking care of yourself and your friends during these overwhelming times. We will focus on warning signs of depression, anxiety, and stress as well has tools to alleviate them. Screening tools will be available, as well as a guide to optimal selfcare techniques. This meeting has been designed to specifically address the tools, strategies, and methods you can use to keep your sanity while fighting for Justice. There will be discussion and Q&A. You will be with friends and allies who are facing the same challenges and struggles as you. Please come! <3 This meeting will also include brief report backs from teams, updates on actions, calendar of events, postcard writing, and opportunities for you to get involved in Power Together Tennessee, Nashville Support Alliance, Indivisible, and other #resistance groups.
