We are excited to announce that Mr. Richard Fret of RichDigital in Atlanta, Georgia is contributing his services to develop a responsive and user-friendly website for NC CANSO!

While lawmakers and administrators argue over how to develop services (and to pay for them) FOR us, across our country and on many other continents around the world, important discussions are taking place BY us. At the bottom of this article, there will be a link to some outstanding podcasts by leading thinkers in this areas. These think tanks innvolve many researchers who are themselves people who are diagnosed with a psychiatric illness.

The Board of Directors of NC CANSO is pleased to share with you its mission, vision, values, and bylaws. The really cool thing about this is that in spite of limited resources, board members participated either on line or in person with creating the message! We are eager to share it, as we think that NOW is the time for consumers/self-advocates to articulate their character and empower their roles in their communities and in advocacy!

The mission of NC CANSO is to develop a culturally diverse, statewide organization of self-advocates and/or consumers. NC CANSO will help empower people to direct their own lives according to their hopes and dreams.

All we want are lives well lived!
