New DVD offers rare look at consumer/survivor initiatives (Canada) Laurier press release, brought to our attention by CMHA/Ontario's Mental Health Notes on From Madhouse to Our House, a new DVD "produced as a new way of introducing an emerging model for mental health care to a wide audience. Consumer/survivor initiatives (CSIs) transform in a fundamental way how people with mental health concerns are supported. They go from being consumers of services and survivors of the system to active participants who support one another and work for community change." For further information on Consumer/Survivor Initiatives in Ontario, see the related web page at the Community Mental Health Evaluation Initiative site.
