Icarus Project
The Icarus Project is a grassroots network comprised of a National Organizing Collective, autonomous local groups and individuals that are "living with experiences that are commonly labeled as bipolar disorder or related mental illness." It is a radical mental health movement that advocates that these experiences should be viewed as "dangerous gifts to be cultivated and taken care of, rather than a disease or disorder to be suppressed or eliminated," promotes art and creativity as intrinsic to these experiences, envisions radical political change in society as a whole, and includes alternate ways of treatment and care beyond the medical model.
