Download MP3 file Roundtable Discussion at SSDIC on Oct 5 2007 CD Tracks, by 10 People Album
Dear Friends of the "Bethesda Beatniks Dinner Club," "Silver Spring Drop-in Center," "DC Mental Health Consumers' League," "Consumer Leadership Forum," plus anyone sincerely concerned about the most pressing issues of the day for mental health consumers and their families and friends:
It's National Mental Illness Awareness Week...time to pause & reflect on how we can help all of our brothers & sisters with mental health issues, and help ourselves too boot.
We held our second public affairs Roundtable Discussion at SSDIC on Friday afternoon and early evening, Oct. 5th, 2007, which featured about one dozen consumer advocates and professionals pouring their hearts out for nearly two and a half hours about the mental health issues of greatest concern to them, timed in recognition of National Mental Illness Awareness Week, Oct. 7th-13th...THIS WEEK!! Much of this in-depth discussion, loosely led by Dr. Bob Litman from CBH Health, concerned bread-and-butter employment and financial survival issues. Much also concerned combatting stigma and discrimination, which of course go hand-in-hand with improving employment prospects for us. The professional audio recording rig we brought with us thankfully worked fine, with the result that we have over two hours of recorded discussion now available over the Web (see below).
Does your circle of friends & colleagues include people who say that they are sympathetic to mental health causes, but haven't a clue about which issues are of greatest concern to consumers; or doubt that stigma & discrimination are major problems, particularly vis a vis employment; or know where their charitable donation dollars could really make a difference? Tell them to take some time out and give a listen...our Web master has engineered things so that folks can fast-forward through this long discussion recorded online at their discretion.
If downloading the entire file onto your hard drive is too much for you, then simply go to the Web page http://www.ooomc.org ....toward the bottom of the page you will find the player to this Roundtable Discussion, and other talks and videos. The "Stigma song" will play automatically as the page is opened...you can listen to it, or stop that player and go down the page to the "10 people Album of Roundtable talks" Track 1 and 2 players.
This message has not been sent "blind carbon copy," so when you forward this, please delete the message headers with the email address that this message is has been sent to PLEASE and send it out as a clean message.
Thanks--and happy listening--from Pete, Phil, Miriam, Dr. Bob, and the dozen-odd other participants in last Friday's Roundtable. In particular, tell your "normal" friends & colleagues who scoff at the assertion that stigma & discrimination are still major problems for us, or that we're less concerned about bread-and-butter issues like earning a living and paying the bills (just like all other upstanding citizens), to listen and maybe learn a thing or two.
We'll keep you informed about future upcoming Roundtable Discussions, which are open to all and will--like this one--be tape recorded.
