This is Lessons from Strangers' first issue with a central theme of "Decolonizing Mental Health". We wish to highlight the persistence of coloniality in the spaces we inhabit and keep proposing the different ways we may take in dismantling it.

Lessons from Strangers is the creative outlet of Letters to Strangers, a youth-for-youth mental health nonprofit seeking to destigmatize mental illness and increase access to affordable, quality treatment.
