This presentation, at the statewide Wyoming consumer conference in Casper, WY, on May 18, 2013, covered the need for advocacy on a personal and a systemic level, some of the rich history of the consumer/survivor/ex-patient movement, and information about becoming an effective advocate.
This presentation – at the VOCAL Virginia conference on May 21, 2013 – reviews some of the history of the consumer/survivor/ex-patient movement, and provides ideas about how to make progress in c/s/x movement efforts to eliminate the discrimination and prejudice associated with mental health diagnoses.
By learning to protect their own rights and assert their own preferences, individuals with lived experience of mental health conditions can combat discrimination and inadequate or harmful treatment – and they can move past self-advocacy to become catalysts for change on the local, statewide and national levels. This presentation will focus on systems advocacy skills in the context of the consumer/survivor/ex-patient (c/s/x) movement for social justice.
