On Our Own, Together

 

Peer Programs for People with Mental Illness

A book written by and for us

Edited by Sally Clay

With Bonnie Schell, Patrick W. Corrigan,
and Ruth O. Ralph

Nashville: Vanderbilt University Press 2005

 

 

This book is written by and for people who are consumer / survivors of mental health treatment. We have adopted the disability rights slogan, "Nothing About Us Without Us!".

 

We are part of a movement to transform a failed healthcare system through peer support and advocacy. We seek to create programs "on our own," together with all people who aspire to help others as they help themselves.
