Scenario

When communities struggle to balance care and boundaries

Our housing cooperative is dealing with a member who's going through a mental health crisis and isn't maintaining their space or participating in house meetings and some people want to start the removal process while others think we should be more supportive. Every conversation about it becomes a fight about what community care means.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
