Neurodivergent Picnics – Peru | Ep 2 | Developing Mental Wealth
Seyi and Radha are hopping over the Atlantic this week to meet a group of women in Peru, who are supporting the country’s neurodivergent community with their mental health challenges, through the simple act of hosting picnics. They meet journalist and co-founder of the Peruvian Neurodivergent Coalition (CNP), Caro Díaz, team member Karina, and picnic attendee Alex. They ask the question: everybody talks about self-care, but what about community care?Developing Mental Wealth is a six-part series about community-based solutions to mental health issues, in parts of the world where circumstances can be the most challenging. The series is funded by the European Journalism Centre, through the Solutions Journalism Accelerator. This fund is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.Subscribe to the Positive News email newsletter: www.positive.news/letterProducer: Anna StaufenbergExecutive Producer: Samantha PsykMixing & sound design: Anna StaufenbergIf you’re affected by the issues covered in this episode, in the UK and Ireland, Samaritans can be contacted on freephone 116 123, or email jo@samaritans.org.
