Some things you should know about user / survivor action

Zoom

This Mind pack explains how and why the service user/survivor movement developed, what activists have been fighting for, what action they have taken, and what the movement has achieved.

The pack is principally aimed at those who are not part of the movement, but whose work brings them into contact with it. Current activists will also find it an interesting (and perhaps provocative) read.

The pack contains 11 pull-out guides:

1. The service user/survivor movement: an introduction
2. The historical context
3. What do service users/survivors want?
4. Discrimination and service users/survivors
5. Diversity and the service user/survivor movement
6. Speaking out for better services: advocacy, patients' councils and service user involvement.
7. Compulsion and the Mental Health Act
8. Service users/survivors and treatments
9. Service user/survivor action
10. Achievements and challenges
11. Resources
