Channel: SPORK! NFP
Date: 2020-05-08

Originally Aired: Thursday, May 7th, 7pm on Hideout Online via Home Room Chicago
Note: Entire video is available at www.twitch.tv/hideoutchicago

Topic: It's not easy getting through a global pandemic. Homeroom talks to three Chicagoans on how they are coping, staying afloat, and addressing mental health during this tough time. We’ll also explore the structural inequalities in the city and beyond that make coping easier (or harder) for certain communities, and how to make space for hope and joy while not losing sight of what’s being lost.

Moderators: Keidra Chaney and Fred Sasaki

Virtual Panel: Whitney Hill (Founder and Director of SPORK!), Steph Fowler (M.Ed., LCPC, CADC), Dawn Xiana Moon (Founder and Producer/Director of Raks Geek)
