Icarus Minneapolis!

About Me

We're the Icarus Project Minneapolis, a discussion and activist group for people with bipolar disorder and related madness. We meet every Wednesday from 7-9pm at Arise Bookstore (2441 Lyndale Ave S,Mpls)to talk about what it's like to be called "crazy" or "mentally ill" in a world that's already pretty insane. We're trying to create a community in the Twin Cities to talk about mental health, and to start taking care of ourselves. Come join us!
