Structure of the Queen Street Patients Council

The Patients Council was a non-profit corporation, run by and for mental health consumers and psychiatric surviors. Our general membership (consumers, survivors and allies) met every 12-18 months and elected 12-16 people to the Council Board of Directors. The board hired two coordinators (equaling one full-time staff compliment) to run advocacy, outreach and administrative programming. Volunteers were welcomed from the consumer, survivor and academic communities. Standing committees included the Executive Committee and the Personnel and Finance Committee, and ad hoc committees included Outreach (e.g. parties in the Mall, coffee hour) and Advocacy (e.g. demonstrations, conferences).
