Brief biography:

 

Sally Zinman

 

Sally Zinman is the Executive Director of the California Network of

Mental Health Clients (CNMHC), one of the largest mental health

client run advocacy organizations in the world. Along with 20 other

clients, Sally founded the statewide group 20 years ago.

 

Sally's commitment to the rights of people with mental disabilities

came from her own horrendous experience in the mental health system,

including months locked up in a psychiatric facility basement and

beaten. She has dedicated her life to insure that what happened to

her as a person labeled " mentally ill " would not happen to other

people. She has spent the time since her own incarceration working

for the self-determination and freedom of choice of others who

followed her.

Update on listening to archives: Many people report they are

listening to the archives. However, some are having technical

problems. For instance, if you who have a Mac with OS X & later you

may need to download Windows Media® Components for QuickTime by

Flip4Mac™, free, so you can play Windows Media files (.wma and .wmv)

directly in QuickTime Player and view Windows Media content on the

Internet using a Web browser. This program allows for MP3s to be

played, and can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/9rz5l Be sure to
