Garden in Kerrville - 08 - With Educator/Facilitator/Artists Carly DW Bones & Zach Bones

Send a textIn this final episode of the Ballad of Dena & Andrea I read a bit from the old bible and wonder about our current institutions for mental health and our sick carceral system. I speak with two folks who've worked in various positions as educators and facilitators in restorative justice, sex education, and art programs.  I'll mention the fund that Andrea started with her lawyer to support mental health of young mothers. It is linked below as well...The song is a fictional POV from Andrea inside the Kerrville, TX mental institution. Show LinksArticle: Sorrow and the Shame of the Accidental Killer Restorative Justice Definition: https://www.vera.org/The L.A. jail system is the largest mental health institution in the U.S.https://www.vera.org/news/for-decades-los-angeles-jailed-people-with-mental-health-needs-now-its-finally-prioritizing-treatmentHomeboy Industriesadrienne maree brown & a list of her books we mentionPleasure ActivismEmergent StrategyWe Will Not Cancel Us Octavia Butler: Parable of the SowerDory MidnightThe Witch Wave Podcast with Pam GrossmanNicole Brewer - Anti-Racist Theatre: “The grace to speak in draft and the responsibility to edit if it is harmful"Fumbling Toward RepairBallad of Dena & Andrea LinksPostpartum Support InternationalPSI Yates Children Memorial Fund Legal Justice ProgramA bit about the Yates Children Memorial FundI Need An AbortionNational Suicide Hotline: You can call 998 or find help online at https://988lifeline.org/Domestic Abuse HotlineThank you for listening.
