Toronto Mad Pride Week 2016
July 11, 2016 to July 17, 2016
Toronto Mad Pride Week is an arts, culture and community festival created to celebrate, empower and build community. We are working not only to end stigma and oppression that people living with mental illness face, but to show our strength and enjoyment of life.
Toronto Mad Pride Week is proudly brought to you by a group of ‘mad’, ‘crazy’, ‘consumer-survivors’, those who identify as having mental health issues, and allies.
This year, Toronto Mad Pride Week kicks off July 11th, with a diverse lineup of activities, discussions, and ‘mad’ festivities. Included among these are:
workshops on Tai chi, Mindfulness, and Improv for Anxiety
an academic panel on Anti-Black Racism & Madness
a strategy and discussion session for ‘Peer Workers’
nightly entertainment including: theatrical performances, music, poetry, rants, and more
a Street Fair & Marketplace
the Annual Bed-Push Parade that symbolizes the move from hospital to community, and is the official closing event of Toronto Mad Pride Week on July 17th
