Who We Are

75% of our team experiences nonconsensus reality. For folk unfamiliar with this terminology or who may not be as aclimated with the mad liberation space, this means in a medical setting we would be pathologized as "psychotic", though this terminology is out of favor with the broader community.

We are team of community workers, primarily peer support specialists and subject matter experts.

Our advisors include 4 subject matter experts. 75% of them identify as trans/nb/2S, 75% are BIPOC, 75% use neopronouns and 25% use she/her pronouns, 100% of them identify as disabled.

Background

Call Bubbie was started in 2023 by a peer support specialist who was not able to get the affirming-community resources for a woman they were working with who experienced altered states. This woman was very inspirational for them and impressed on them to never live from a place of fear. Call Bubbie was born from the altered state this peer experienced there after in order to make sure their client's memory was a blessing.
