The network provides a safe place where consumers/survivors can meet and socialize and create opportunities for individuals’ empowerment with the goal of creating a self-reliant consumer/survivor community that will counteract stigma, prejudice and discrimination through outreach and education.

Network membership is free to all mental health consumers, past or present. It lasts as long as the member wants or is cancelled by the Board of Directors or the general membership.
