About

The Tikkun Line is a peer support project for people who experience extreme or altered states, non-consensus realities, psychosis, or use other words that best describe their own experiences.

We aim to use Hearing Voices & Intentional Peer Support peer models and a Transformative Justice liberatory approach. We acknowledge that we are constantly learning these practices.

Our name comes from “Tikkun Olam”, meaning “world repair” in Hebrew; a core principle in Judaism that emphasizes the responsibility to improve the world and make it a more just, equitable, and harmonious place. Our logo is a dove carrying a phone like an olive branch, symbolizing world repair by striving toward healthy communication and connection while we acknowledge that the pragmatics of unlearning oppression and healthy connection to ourselves, others, and the land is the work of a life time.

We acknowledge the humanity in men, women, transpeople, and gender expansive individuals. At this time, we are focused on providing care for trans individuals, women, and gender expansive people because that is the expertise we currently have on the team. We hope to be able to host a space that is inclusive for all people as we gain knowledge about anti-oppressive, trauma informed care for men.

Who We Are

About 75% of our team experiences nonconsensus reality. In medical terms, this might be described as "psychosis," though that term is less favored in the broader disability and mad liberation communities.

Funding

We are a fiscally sponsored project, meaning we are a project that is run independently that has a 501c3 parent that houses our funds, allows us to apply for grants, and allows donations to be tax deductible. Our financial decisions and organizational structure are independent from the parent 501c3 that sponsors us.
