In the [url=http://rabble.ca/babble/disability-issues/mental-illness-jail-all-us]Mental Illness-Jail All Of Us[/url] thread, epaulo13 posted a recent [url=http://dominion.mediacoop.ca/story/call-us-crazy/16948]article[/url] that listed a bunch of resources at the bottom. These are the ones that are specifically Canadian:

[url=http://ccamhr.ca]Canadian Coalition of Alternative Mental Health Resources[/url]

Just my opinion, but the first two listed:

National Network for Mental Health

Canadian Coalition of Alternative Mental Health Resources

look they spout the same old crap, as do all the organizations in the opening post of this thread.

The Mad Students Society, however, looks promising.
