Join us at 7pm on July 7

“Empire of Madness” - Reimagining Western Mental Health Care for Everyone by Dr. Khameer Kidia takes place on Tuesday, July 7th at 7:00-8:30 p.m. in Edwards Hall on the lower level of the church. Snacks will be served.

“Empire of Madness” argues that the solution to our mental health crisis is not more psychiatry, but more justice.  Khameer Kidia makes the powerful case that what we diagnose as individual illness is often a rational response to structural violence.  This is an essential, paradigm-shifting book.”  Anne Boyer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Undying. 

“With rigorous research, cutting analysis, and illuminating prose, 

Dr. Khameer Kidia, a Harvard Medical School physician and anthropologist, invites us to reimagine mental health as a global idea where our wellbeing is mutual and everyone’s voice, patients, caregivers, and healthcare workers alike —matters.”
