Twenty-first century treatment for people with a mental health diagnosis is advancing, largely driven by new trends in research and policy reform. These policies, for better or worse, prescribe and map a course for new treatment pathways and models for delivering best practices in mental healthcare. To build on earlier research requires that clinicians successfully challenge less effective treatment milieus, evidence a need for further data, and ultimately, carry out studies that demonstrate and provide better outcomes for patients. Without question, rising violence can be partly attributed to a brokrn Mental health system.

Please remember this is a space of support and safety for all members at all times. This forum is is not intended to coordinate immediate clinical emergencies. If you need immediate medical attention please call 911 or proceed to your local emergency room. This is also not a space to judge others regardless of their presentation; disposition, mental status, disability, sexuality, gender identity or expression. Members that violate this warning will be removed from the group without question.

This community is fundamentally important to establish a new culture surrounding the delivery of mental health services and the manner in which treatment, advocacy & community psycho-education is rendered by systems of care and prepared for consumption in our communities.

It always begins with a conversation between parties with a vested interest and ultimately the stakeholders that levy reform. I hope all people here feel comfortable to have a voice in this cause and feel like speaking up will make a difference. Whether you are looking for advice, counseling, support, or feel like proposing changes within the mental hygiene legal system, speak up!

We are a diverse community here. In this group are practitioners, peers, folks with lived experience, caregivers, allies and friends of those carrying a diagnosis and people whom have departed from psychiatry and are psychiatric survivors of the mental health system. Your voice matters.

Hopefully, this document will help establish a culture in which providers, peers, and all people in mental health can and will expect major shifts in outcomes with Mental Health treatment. The road ahead of us has many obstacles before universal access to treatment can implemented but these challenges must be met head on if we are to move mental health treatment forward into modernity.

We are looking for allies and advocates to lobby for community based services so they can benefit, expand further & have the resources to take up our cause and incorporate it into the very structure of their organizations.

This is a living document. Group members should feel comfortable updating it & presenting their reasons to adapt or revise our stance on discourses which inform the manner in which mental health care is packaged & consumed for consumption & presented for debate by this community and its members.
