Welcome! Book here to join NEUROMANCERS' Psych Trauma Survivors Constellation!
About Psych Trauma Survivors 🧠
This is a peer led, trauma informed, supportive space for folks (14+) who have experienced harm or trauma from the MHIC (mental health industrial complex) and/or psychiatry and those who identify as Psychiatric Survivors. In this space we all have lived experience, which we utilise to create community and educate one another. Each session has a theme, and we explore these together as a community.
We will meet on Thursdays at 6-8pm BST for six (6) weeks. (Convert to your timezone here.)
- Thursday 13th June – What does it mean to be a Psychiatric Survivor?
- Thursday 20th June – Sanism 101
- Thursday 27th June – Depathologization and Challenging Sanism
- Thursday 4th July – Grief and Rage
- Thursday 11th July – Alternatives to Medical Model: Indigenous Wisdoms and Beyond
- Thursday 18th July – Imagining a Mad Utopia & Neuromancing the Future
Psych Trauma Survivors is led by facilitators with ‘lived-experience’ of surviving psychiatric trauma. Within all online sessions, captions, use of the chat, and optional mic/camera will be available. Furthermore, you can join our Discord server to connect between and beyond sessions. Please contact us with questions.

What are Constellations?✨️
NEUROMANCERS is a community organisation and radical magazine, for and by neurodivergent people. Learn more about us here.
Constellations are our anti-carceral, sliding-scale Peer Solidarity groups. Peer Solidarity (coined by Aiyana Goodfellow) is an elevated form of peer support which combines political education with community healing. Learn more about Constellations.
How much do the Constellations cost? 💸
In line with our accessibility statements, we offer sliding-scale tickets for all Constellation sessions, with free spaces for Black people. We ask and expect middle class, financially privileged, and white people to engage in personal reparations: choose our higher tier options to redistribute your wealth. All funds go towards our Solar Survival Support (mutual aid) projects.
Each ticket gives you access to all six (6) sessions within this Constellation. These are not drop-in spaces: you must commit to most or all of the sessions.
Sliding-Scale:
- Free for Black People
- Tier One: £15 (£2.50 per session)
- Tier Two: £30 (£5 per session)
- Tier Three: £60 (£10 per session)
- Tier Four: £60+ (pay what you can)
Payment Plans & Discounts:
The payment plan feature is available until a week before the Constellation sessions begin. If booking at Tier Two and above, you can secure your place with a 25% deposit, and pay the rest up-to three (3) days before the first session of your Constellation.
Spaces will fill quickly and each tier is limited, so book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!
