This report is produced by the Realizing Human Rights and Social Justice in Mental Health project, which is a Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)-funded research project documenting service user experiences of coercive practices in mental health. Realizing Human Rights explores the role of recovery oriented, service-user involved organizations in advancing equity and aligning mental health services with the UN Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) human rights framework.
