Mental Health in the 21st Century - Conference
I have attended the below conference before, and I've found
everyone there to be very supportive of deeply transforming the mental health
system. This is a great opportunity to build bridges to key mental health
professionals who are courageously challenging the current psychiatric system,
defending human rights, and creating alternatives.
It's sponsored by the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and
Psychology. I'm not at all involved in organizing it, by I'll be speaking. ICSPP
is a sponsor group of Support Coalition International.
See you at the conference I hope!
