Our People

We have decades of combined experience working in the areas of human rights, disability law, gender equality, advocacy, law reform, clinical mental health services, and social change. We have personal and professional experiences with serious mental health, substance use, and disability-related issues and the struggle many people experience trying to get the right supports.

We’re change-makers who are dedicated to the dignity, self-determination and human rights of people who experience coercive health care, and we recognize that they are disproportionately people with disabilities, people experiencing health issues, or people who are otherwise marginalized.
