Welcome...
Welcome to the Leadership21 blog, an ongoing conversation on mental health, civil rights and social justice. Posting on the blog are twelve young mental health advocates who comprise the L21 commitee, and anything goes--the personal, the political, the cultural, whatever! We hope that you'll check out what's here, and make some comments, and please know that if you're concerned about anonymity, you can comment anonymously. We hope that what you read, and what you contribute, will make you want to return regularly, because to our knowledge, there really isn't anything out there that has the potential to engage people on so many levels about mental health. But we need "outsiders" like you to make it grow into a robust, contagious online blog. So thanks for coming, welcome to the conversation, and please, pass it on--L21
Just Asking...
So I write for a magazine that is funded by pharmacuetical companies, and in an essay about the mental health movement, I said that one of the issues that mental health advocates are interested in is the corruption between the pharmaceutical industry and the medical establishment. My editor said I can't use the word "corruption" because it is libelous and I could be sued. So, there are a handful of lawyers on this committee, and I ask them: is it LIBELOUS to say that mental health advocates are interested in the corruption between the pharmacuetical industry and the medical establishment?
