Alternatives 2004
The 19th
annual Alternatives conference, the only national mental health
conference organized by and for mental health consumers and
survivors, will be held from October 13 to 17, 2004, at the Denver
Marriott City Center in Denver, Colorado.
The theme of Alternatives 2004 — “Achieving the Promise of
Recovery: New Freedom, New Power, New Hope” — was chosen to echo the
title of the report of the President’s New Freedom Commission on
Mental Health: “Achieving the Promise: Transforming Mental Health
Care in America.” If you would like to be informed of conference
