Submitted by sealux on Wed, 11/07/2007 - 5:47pm
The Philadelphia Icarus Project: A Radical Mental Health Collective for individuals labeled with a "mental disorder" or who consider themselves to have developmental differences and their allies. We believe in revolutionary change of the for-profit mental health industry. Our mission is to eradicate the stigma associated with "labels" and to have direct control over the decision-making process of our mental healthcare treatment tailored to meet our individual needs.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

There is plenty of parking for bikes & cars on the south side of Baltimore Avenue between 47th & 48th Street. The A-Space is a collectively run anarchist community meeting space and gallery.
