Improving Mental Health Services Through
Informed Choice: A Bottom-Up Approach to
Changing Provider Behaviour
We have a vision for educating the public about
mental health and mental illness, using an
‘edutainment’ (combination of education and
entertainment) approach. Our objective is to
promote mental health and recovery through
informed consumer choice, and the adherence to
best practices in treatment guidelines. Our hope
is to help consumers to meet their provider’s
part way in exchanging information that is
evidence-based, and in a language that is easy
to understand. We have developed a series of
multimedia resources, including audio segments,
consumer-friendly treatment guidelines, podcasts
and vodcasts, to help educate consumers about
mental health, mental illness, and treatment
options. Please visit our website to register
for an upcoming FREE teleseminar, where you will
learn more about these exciting resources, and
how they can help you in your search for mental
health!

The Icarus Project
A non-profit community based website, support
network, and underground media project created
by and for people struggling with bipolar
disorder and other dangerous gifts that are
commonly labeled as mental illnesses. We believe
that when we learn to take care of ourselves,
the intertwined threads of madness and
creativity can be tools of inspiration and hope
in a repressed and damaged world. Our goal is to
help people like ourselves feel less alienated,
and to allow us—both as individuals and as a
community—to tap into the true potential that
lies between brilliance and madness.
