Gread cd compilation dedicated to the Mad Pride:a mass movement of the users of mental health
services, former users, and their allies. The first known event
specifically organized as a Pride event by people who identify as
psychiatric survivors/consumer/ex-patients was in Toronto, Canada when
it was called "Psychiatric Survivor Pride Day", held on September 18,
1993. It was first held in response to local community prejudices
towards people with a psychiatric history living in boarding homes in
the Parkdale area of the city, and has been held every year since then
in this city except 1996.[1] By the late 1990s similar events were being organized as Mad Pride in London, England and around the globe from Australia to South Africa and the United States, drawing thousands of participants, according to MindFreedom International, a United States mental health advocacy organization that promotes and tracks events spawned by the movement.[2]
Mad Pride activists seek to reclaim terms such as "mad", "nutter", and "psycho" from misuse, such as in tabloid newspapers. Through a series of mass media campaigns, Mad Pride activists seek to re-educate the general public on such subjects as the causes of mental disabilities, the experiences of those using the mental health system, and the global suicide pandemic.[citation needed] One of Mad Pride's founding activists was Pete Shaughnessy, who later died by suicide.[3] Robert Dellar and Simon Barnet were among the other founders of the movement. Mad Pride: A celebration of mad culture records the early Mad Pride movement.[4] On Our Own: Patient-Controlled Alternatives to the Mental Health System, published in 1978 by Judi Chamberlin, is a foundational text in the Mad Pride movement, although it was published before the movement was launched.[5]
