Bids for Care: A Way To Practice Care
Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities.
In this interactive workshop, participants will explore and practice the concept of “Bid for Care” as a foundational element for building responsive and supportive communities. Drawing on principles of radical mental health and community care, participants will learn practical strategies for recognizing bids for care, assessing personal capacity to respond, and cultivating a culture of mutual support.
