OUTCRY Conference Report: End Of Conference After a long but very productive day, the conference closed in a spirit of unity. Before departing we held a one minute silence, in thought of fellow users/survivors who were unable to be with us on the day, and in memory of people who are no longer with us. Written Feedback From The Conference "Mental Health is not the only issue this Government has mishandled in my opinion. There is Iraq, the Foot and Mouth outbreak (over-reaction) and Animal Rights (Diaries of Despair)…To extend in-patient Tribunals to discharge patients - they will be deprived of the opportunity of putting their case in this way. Achieving discharge is not the point if users/survivors feel they should not have been incarcerated in the first place”. Audrey, London “Excellent day, full of pain and passion- let’s not lose it, demo for Nov – organise, put details on NO FORCE website. Well done to all who did the hard work – nice one!" Cath “Thank you. Very thought provoking. Time for action!" Richard, Somerset “Thanks for the day, heart felt speeches. Keep up the good work. We’re powerless without you". Pat Hitchin, Herts “Thanks everyone – whose services are they meant to be for anyway? If they’re not what we want become REFUSERS not USERS – build the kind of support we want”. Jan, London “Very good day. Roll on action. March!! Let’s show the public”. Richard and Denise, Reading “I found
Dave’s speech passionate and inspiring – highlight
of the day. Spill the bill!” Ray, London |
