Rowan's Mental Health Support Fund
Donation protected
Hey y'all! Rowan aka GOZI (sweet prince of the internet and angel of the airwaves) has taken many positive steps to care for his mental health since graduating from University last year and pursuing both his music and anti-racist actions.
Last month in solidarity with the BLM liberation movement, a Black therapist from the UK donated a number of therapy sessions to young Black men including Rowan, free of charge. This is radical not only because of the moment we are in (which is incredibly taxing on the mental health of Black folx) but also because of the barriers many Black men face in receiving treatment for mental health from sociological stereotyping to medical racism— not to mention that Rowan is from the UK but based in Berlin and the German mental health care system is complicated for Germans to navigate much less immigrants.
Rowan has really bonded with his therapist and would definitely benefit from continuing to work with her. She regularly charges £40 per session which is incredibly reasonable!!! However, this is currently still outside of Rowan’s budget. Although he has enough savings to pay for 4 appointments, it will take some time for Rowan to increase his income enough to cover the cost of therapy in the long run. Especially in the time of (don’t say it!) Corona Capitalism!
SO GOZI FANS AND RO RO'S FAM let's access some of that community abundance and support Rowan (and his incredible therapist) with a year of weekly therapy sessions!! Rowan will return the favor by making his art, re-gifting his work in therapy in the form of incredible advice, making pop music for the soul and by (hopefully) thriving. And giving lots of big hugs!
Please give as much or as little as you can. If you can pay for a whole session, amazing! If you can only afford £10, you’re still giving Rowan 15 minutes worth of support (and every minute is valuable)!
*****Costs: Therapy = £40/ 44.50€ per session
4 sessions per month X 12 = £1920/ 2140€
