M-POWER is a member run organization of mental health consumers and current and former psychiatric patients. We advocate for political and social change within the mental health system and the community, city and statewide. Organizing as a common voice, we claim and secure our human rights. We promote free access to information about those rights. We stand against stigma, bigotry and discrimination which impede our ability to live as dignified people. We enlighten mental health professionals and the community with the truth about our lives, empowering ourselves in the process. We believe all people are entitled to lives free of prejudice and oppression. In a Nutshell Mission Statement In a Nutshell strives to provide information on M-POWER functions to the public and especially to consumers. We publish Chapter updates, previews and reviews of direct actions, and literary work by consumers. All submissions will be considered, however, the decisions of the Newsletter Committee will be final. We are funded in part by the M-POWER Board. We expect to appear bi-annually. We expect to also be distributed through the Internet. Look for our Home Page currently under development at: www.geocities.com/honjon_02120
