distros for mental health zines

[lauramarie]

Hi, everyone. I have a friend who's written a mental health zine, and she is interested in sending it to people who are interested in mental health zines, so I thought I would ask here if there are any distro that specialize in mental health zines. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, chinagirl. Thanks for the info. The zine is by Alison's Wunderland and is called Think Free.

My distro isn't open to ONLY Mental Health zines... but I am interested in adding mental health zines to the cataglog.

I have a lot of mental health related zines and I'd love a specialist distro, but would everyone order from a distro if that was the only kind of zine available? I ask because it's something I've been thinking about doing for a while but I'm not sure if it would work.

Yes, I do think you should make a mental health zine distro! I think there's a need, and I hope you will. I had no idea there were so many mental health zinesters until this group was made here on We Make Zines. Even if it were small, I think it would still be excellent. I can imagine a distro made up of just 15 or 20 good zines and thriving that way.

Well, I might as well give it a go! I need some free hosting for now and a short URL, so I'll look into that. Any ideas for a good one? Oh, and the fun part... choosing a name!

i think that a distro that focuses on mental health would be so amazing. i'd love to contribute thoughts, drawings, ideas, etc. to something of that nature. let's get the community focused on this because i think there is a need!
lunacy distro seems pretty cool but i've tried to order stuff from them and they never replied! oh no!

Hey guys! I just thought I should let you all know that I'm starting a website that will consist of an online consignment shop/zine/distro dedicated to positive mental health issues and awareness. The distro will specialize in positive mental health topics, so if any of you are interested in submitting let me know! The website isn't up yet, but it should be in a week or so. By the way, I'm only looking for positive zines and nothing that promotes self harm. Buuuttt if you include stuff about self harm and you think it still conveys a message of positive mental health, let me know and we'll see. :)

Since the site isn't up yet, I'll just keep checking this site/thread for any replies. Alternatively you can also send me a message here or at my e-mail - nilubol.d at gmail dot com.
