Transformative Mutual Aid Practices: Mapping Our Inner & Shared Worlds 6-8PM ET / 3-5PM PT

Join IDHA on Thursday, March 19 for a virtual workshop exploring hands-on, peer-led ways to strengthen our capacity for connection, reflection, and collective care. Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), systemic family therapy, and the long lineage of peer movement-created tools such as Transformative Mutual Aid Practices (T-MAPs), participants will learn how to create personal and relational “maps” that help make sense of inner experience in context. Rather than treating distress, reactivity, or extreme states as signs of something “wrong” inside individuals, the facilitator will invite a systemic lens: our inner conflicts often mirror the dynamics of the families, communities, media environments, and political systems we are living inside. The workshop will blend teaching, gentle parts work oriented exercises, and group reflection, offering a tool that can be adapted for support groups, clinical settings, and community-based work.
