Welcome to Reconcile Digest #13. I’m so glad you’re here.
Today’s digest explores the makings of an ‘ideal’ mental health community. Really, the insights from this paper translate to every social community - every space where we encourage people to gather, in the hopes that they feel better when they leave.
‘...one does not have to worry about trying to be something that [they're] not or don't have the energy to be.’
Quote from the paper (full paper download available at the end)
full access to today’s reference + questions for reflection
How could these insights translate to other settings beyond mental health or wellbeing communities? Which settings?
Is there a risk that classifying identities into the three categories feels oversimplified or limiting?
How can a physical space be designed to support both comfort-driven resting states and social connection without creating interpersonal pressure?
until next time
