MH 360°: Uncovering Ways To Heal The Mind

MH 360° is a mental health festival that does not shy away from asking tough questions. Is mental illness a result of chemical imbalances? Is psychiatry the best way to understand emotional distress? If not, what could be better ways to understand and deal with challenges to our mental health?

Conceptualised by The Red Door, an organisation that consists of people who believe in rebelling against reductionist psychiatric diagnoses, MH 360° brings together some of the most cutting edge conversations on mental health in a free 2 day festival.

MH 360° brings the focus back to empowering individuals to explore what's at the heart of their emotional distress - thus helping them make informed choices on how they want to heal - with a firm understanding of societal factors and structural forces that impact our lives and mental health.

Come, discover the many ways to heal our minds!
