Book Description
In 1987 a groundbreaking survey called The Well-Being Project was conducted by the California Network of Mental Health Clients under contract to the Office of Prevention of the California Department of Mental Health to explore what factors promote or deter the well-being of those diagnosed/labeled as “mentally ill.” Initially, it had been assumed that the analysis of the survey data as well as the final written report would be awarded to a university or other professional research group. Much to the surprise of some, and in the spirit of the disability rights movement rallying cry of “nothing about us without us,” the successful proposal was written by mental health client researchers Jean Campbell and Ron Schraiber on behalf of the California Network of Mental Health Clients. The study became known as The Well-Being Project: Mental Health Clients Speak for Themselves, and was published in 1989; additionally, an award winning documentary “People Say I’m Crazy” based on the study’s findings was produced as well as a compendium book to the video with the same title.
