HUMAN
RIGHTS ALERT: A Psychiatric Survival Broadsheet
(Issue
# 10)
I started
putting out this little newsletter in June last
year,
as a way of expressing news and views about issues of
interest
to Psychiatric Survivors.
Issue
#10 includes an update on the legislative situation
in Ontario,
Canada and elsewhere, and a piece on the 'Mad
Pride'
celebrations that will be taking place in several
locations
around the world during the week of July 8-15.
This newsletter
is available for download at
<http://bacque.graeme.tripod.com/HRA/HRA.html>
in both
PDF (Adobe Acrobat) and HTML format.
