About Usorum
Usorum’s mission is to unite lived experience communities and scale their engagement in social good. Founded by Dimitriy Gutkovich — a voice-hearer and member of IDHA’s Core Curriculum faculty — Usorum aims to help organizations achieve more by tapping into the collective wisdom of their wider communities.
Join the conversation
IDHA’s first brainstorm initiative with Usorum invites our community to pool expertise and reimagine mental health practice by exploring two key questions:
What concrete and meaningful actions can mental health providers take to support the proliferation of non-carceral, community care practices?
What strategies for mental health organizing can help us meet this political moment?
The discussion will be moderated by Usorum and open for one week, from February 26 to March 5.
