Can anyone recommend how someone could access the support for 'survivors' if
they do not have use of the internet? Regards, Sarah.

SURVIVORS' UNITED NETWORK
S.U.N. produces a monthly printed newsletter and ezine. These are available
free of charge to all survivors', mental health service-users, ex-users and
people who experience mental distress. The resources aim to spread topical
and interesting information, to assist people and groups to work together
and to highlight positive examples of what people who experience distress
can do.
The S.U.N. website is being changed to make it more consistent when viewed
in different browser software.
I hope you will be patient while I build up the content again.
You can get more information about the S.U.N. resources by emailing me at

The following link:- http://www.artofawareness.co.uk/index.html will take
you to pages containing the stories of prominent survivors in the U.K:-
Peter Campbell
Jan Wallcraft
Mike Lawson
Mary Nettle
Peter Beresford
If you know of any other links of disabled people user/survivors
organisation in the U.K please can you send them to the following yahoo
forums:-
[log in to unmask];
[log in to unmask];
[log in to unmask] or can you inform me of any others
forums in which I will feel empowered by joining ? Does anyone know of any
user/ survivors-lead political for adults whom are neuro diverse with
Autistic Spectrum Disorders(Aspergers Syndrome) or Specific Learning
Difficulties(ADHD, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia etc..)
These groups seem to be very isolated from the user/ survivors- lead
disabled people's political movement, Why is this ?
To me people who are neuro-diverse are 'victims' of the medical model of
disability and experience mental-ill health due to the institutional,
societal and individual oppression and discriminatory attitudes, behaviours
and practices, procedures and policies and the dominant ideologies within
psychiatry and psychology.
Many neuro-diverse individuals are being misdiagnosed with 'mental
illnesses' and only offered psychiatric intervention, especially the
'chemical-coshes', in which is can be very dangerous and fatalistic in some
cases, due to neuro-diverse individuals experiencing adverse-side effects to
these psychiatric drugs, in which causes great harm due to neuro-diverse
individuals having different bio-chemical and metabolic profiles, in which
their bodies can't cope with modern day 'toxins' which cause
'brain-allergies'.
