Did you come here after Kelli’s workshop on The Fine Art of Asking For And Accepting Help?

Here are the resources Kelli referenced-

Kelli’s zine You Don’t Have To Love Your Body To Take Care Of It includes a lot of info about asking for help/assistance in health care situations.

Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha’s account of Creating Collective Access at the AMC in Detroit. A really beautiful example of mutual aid in action, and a reminder that nondisabled folks are building their mutual aid on the work that’s been done by other groups (folks with disabilities, poor communities and communities of color) for generations.

Dean Spade writing about mutual aid (really academic but has some great history) and a practical guide from AOC’s office.

If you’re struggling with asking for help, sometimes 12 step programs such as Codependent’s Anonymous, Al-Anon and ACOA can be helpful. Sometimes. They often include a whole lotta God talk which doesn’t suit everyone and some folks find the framework too rigid for their taste. But if you need support to start prioritizing your own needs, a meeting might not hurt. Most local groups host their own online meetings but there’s also a bunch hosted here.
