Your contribution into highlighting massive faults in 'enforced inappropriate' treatments rings so true and you remind me so much of the similar hard journey of Janet Meagher AM. Janet is a current high-profile Mental Health Commissioner who has been living with schizophrenia for over four decades herself and was institutionalised for 10 years and is now living with the effects of being restrained and put into seclusion. A horrific enforced institutionalised crime in my view that is so tragically common.<br /><br />Janet Meagher has been a Mental Health Consumer activist and advocate for over 25 years. She has lived with schizophrenia since early 1970’s.<br /> <br />She is<br /> <br />* Currently Secretary of the World Federation for Mental Health.<br />* Founding member & patron of AMHCN (Aust. Mental Health Consumer Network)<br />* Founding member of NSW Consumer Advisory Group (NSW CAG), & at various times, office bearer, member & later, Coordinator/CEO. (1992-2001)<br />* Vice President, Aust. Mental Health Suicide Consumer Alliance, Trans-Cultural M.H. Editorial Board, member.<br />* Churchill Fellow 1994 investigating “Consumer empowerment & self-advocacy…in Great Britain, USA & Canada”<br />* Speaker, Educator, Trainer, Consultant, Lecturer and Author. Originator of many training programs, articles, papers, incl. A handbook on participation & partnership entitled “Partnership or Pretence”. (Published in several languages)<br />* Currently Director of Employment for ‘Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association’<br />* Representative of Consumers’ Health Forum of Australia<br />* Recipient of TheMHS Gold Award “for Exceptional Contribution to Mental Health Services in Australia” 2000, and the honour of being made a Member of the “ Order of Australia” (AM) in 1996 for “work as an advocate on behalf of people with mental illnesses & psychiatric disabilities”.<br /><br />I can easily see by your driving awaremness campaigns you will also make such substantial contributions<br />Best<br />Glenn FloydGlenn Floydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893518779973718234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635777611303207747.post-71779292663416940702012-11-26T22:11:38.016+11:002012-11-26T22:11:38.016+11:00So beautiful making peace NO, so good to feel stro...So beautiful making peace NO, so good to feel strong; so good so have the power of deep love.
