Coming Together for Change:
The Mental Health Coalition of Nova Scotia

January 18, 2008

Dear Friend in Mental Health:

If you believe as we do that there is a need to identify and address gaps
and lobby for change in the provision of mental health care, please join us
for important discussions on Monday, March 3rd, 2008, to help create the
Mental Health Coalition of Nova Scotia.

This forum will be held from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm in Theatre A of the Tupper
Building, Dalhousie University, 5850 College Street, Halifax, and is free of
charge.  A registration form is attached and the deadline to register is
Monday, February 18th.  Please circulate this letter and registration form
to anyone you feel may be interested.

The Organizational Committee has drafted Terms of Reference and identified
common issues to begin our discussion.  We need your help to develop a plan
for sustaining the Coalition, identifying priorities, and determining
objectives to take action on the priorities.

Why a COALITION?
To define our community's (Nova Scotia) strengths and weaknesses, and use
these indicators to plan a strategy 
To identify gaps and work together to fill those gaps 
To share similar concerns but from a variety of perspectives 
To improve communication delivery through the numerous members 
To be more visible to decision-makers, the media and the community 
To conserve resources by eliminating duplication of efforts

Please join us on March 3rd to become part of the Mental Health Coalition of
Nova Scotia.  

Sincerely,
The Organizational Committee for the Mental Health Coalition of Nova Scotia
