Gayle Blue Bird (Slide 24)
I have been a crusader to change the mental health system for almost 40 years. I have worked in many peer related positions in the state of Florida, Georgia and in Delaware. To witness the progress and be part of it is truly amazing. As a nurse I have been able to combine my nursing background with my peer background and have been a consultant to many state hospitals to develop peer roles. I have written guidebooks on the subject of peer specialists and for inpatient peers. I am now retired as of January 2015 and much enjoying less stress but not less activity. I am concentrating on being a writer and just completed a published memoir, "You're Pretty When You Smile". I write a "poem for the day" on FACEBOOK and am actively promoting the arts at peer conferences and to develop an arts festival for 2016. My Goal: to keep going as long as possible, to dream, implement and sit back a few years from now and smile at History in the past and History in the making.

iNAPS Conference 2019
The International Association of Peer Supporters (iNAPS) is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization. It was begun by a small group of peer specialists in Michigan interested in what was happening in other states. Founded in 2004, the organization now includes members from every state and several countries outside the US. Members of this network can come together to share their ideas and innovations, exchange resources and information based on real world application, and add their voice to others when concerns and issues affecting all of us require a global response from a global community. We are actively and intentionally working on making iNAPS a more inclusive and safe space for individuals who have historically been marginalized.

Watch this video for 'Mad People's History' (CDST 504), an online course offered at Ryerson University.
David Reville, an instructor with the School of Disability Studies, introduces the consumer/survivor/ex-patient movement, offering learners several ways to conceptualize the movement. The six-part metaphor is intended to frame the origins, activities, and politics of the movement.
Reville was born in Brantford, Ontario. After graduating from Brantford Collegiate Institute in 1961, he attended Trinity College at the University of Toronto and proceeded to law school. It was expected that he would follow the career path of his father, an Ontario judge. Instead, Reville became manic-depressive and attempted to kill himself during his law studies.[1] He was institutionalized in a psychiatric hospital and became a crusader for mental health reform upon his release.[2]
During an interview with Canadian Press, Reville intoned, tongue firmly in cheek, "I became a New Democrat because I was mentally ill" and was bemused when his statement appeared as a headline in newspapers across the country. He was making the point that he had begun to learn something about powerlessness in hospital, and joined the NDP to fight for marginalized people.[3] He once joked that he was the only MPP with a certificate to prove that he was sa
