The Queen Street Outreach Society, (QSOS), is a volunteer-driven non-profit organization made up of people who’ve experienced the mental health system. The QSOS is no longer funded (see the 'QSOS' link to the left).

QSOS organizes information about the mental health system for and by people who have experienced it first hand. Find out more about what psychiatric survivors and mental health consumers have been saying about attempts at system reform under 'feedback'.

QSOS has provided education, information and training on mental health and legal issues (see 'rights') by psychiatric survivors and consumers (e.g., 'clients', 'patients' 'inmates'). We have done training with Toronto police officers, health care workers, social workers, psychiatric workers, as well as families, survivors and consumers across Ontario.

QSOS encourages respectful discussion and debate on key issues facing our membership. We believe this will help our emerging culture understand itself (see survivor 'links'), and in turn help others relate to each other.
