Mental Health Consumer/Survivor Network Of Minnesota - Marshall Regional Resource Center

The mission of the Mental Health Consumer/Survivor Network (CSN) is to transform, empower and build connections in our communities by promoting recovery and wellness. The CSN is dedicated to individual empowerment, education, community building and systems change to achieve a world free of discrimination.

Description:
CSN is a grassroots 501(c)(3) organization run entirely by people who have experienced psychiatric disorders. The CSN empowers consumers and family members to be active in the systems which affect their health and recovery. A crucial part of CSN is the ability of our staff and volunteers to maintain the social network of peers and provide support based on shared life experiences. We serve adults in every county in Minnesota, providing support, education and advocacy to our peers, family members, mental health providers, policy makers and the general public.

History:
In 1994, a small group of Minnesotans who had grown increasingly dissatisfied with the mental health system founded CSN as an alternative to traditional mental health care practices. Inspired by a national movement that focused on recovery and honored the personal experiences of every person affected by a mental health disorder, CSN is a leading expert in the consumer/survivor movement.
