The National Survivor User Network (NSUN), England has released an open letter protesting the Global Ministerial Mental Health Summit organised by the UK government. Signed by around 150 mental health campaigners and organisations from 25 countries, including Mad in Asia Pacific, TCI Asia Pacific and many more, the letter criticises the lack of genuine participation of service users, survivors and persons with psychosocial disabilities and calls for the UK government to examine its own discriminatory policies that affect persons with disabilities before hypocritically pretending to be a 'global leader' in mental health.
We stand with this letter and an in-depth response to the letter will follow soon.
The time to take a stand is now. Stand with NSUN; sign this letter, and let us bring about change.
This letter was first published on NSUN.
