Hello everybody!
I am Arthur Gallant and I am the co-chairman of the Service User Expert Panel in the PSSP at CAMH. Thank goodness I don't have business cards because that is a super long title!
I come into my role as co-chairman with 23 years of life experience. I have a parent with mental illness and I myself have mental illness too. I am a former Youth In Care. I use my experience to make improvements to the mental health system. I have sat on various advisory panels and I am excited to have just been appointed to the Youth Council at the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
I also speak to the media including appearances on TVOs The Agenda with Steve Paikin and I encourage you to check out my mental health blog on The Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/arthur-gallant/
I'm looking forward to using these forums to connect with all of you!
