Since the 1980’s, the US federal government helps fund a large conference of several hundred mental health consumers and psychiatric survivors, many of whom are leading consumer-driven projects such as support groups and drop-in centers. This year’s conference is being held in Buffalo, New York, USA.

A different federally-funded national technical assistance center sponsors it each year. This year’s conference is sponsored by National Empowerment Center. 

The theme this year is:

Creating Community Through Active Citizenship

From the organizers:

“Out of the experience of creating community, consumer/survivors not only become conscious of being members of a group, but we begin to understand that our life has meaning, and we appreciate that our efforts make a difference as we become active citizens in the human community.”

UPDATE: Proposal deadline extended: May 23, 2008
