An International Coalition of National Consumer/User Organizations was launched at the IIMHL (International Initiative on MH Leadership) meeting in St. Catharines, Canada August, 2007:
Representatives from 7 countries (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US, Ireland, Scotland, and England) met in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, August 27th and 28th, 2007, as part of a preconference IIMHL match. We found many common values and in connecting decided to follow up with teleconferences to begin forming an international coalition. This site will serve as an update of the progress the group makes in organizing."
