ELECTROSHOCK SPEAKERS’ BUREAU
CAPA is delighted to announce the emergence of an electroshock speakers’ bureau, consisting of ECT survivors who can speak knowledgeably and passionately, with the benefit of firsthand insight, about the effects of this procedure on their lives. This is a groundbreaking group for several reasons, chief among which is the fact that journalists covering survivors’ issues can now contact survivors directly for their point of view. We hope that the bureau’s existence will facilitate the Canadian public’s understanding of electroshock and what it represents to those who have experienced it. If you are interested in joining, contact Mel Starkman, the bureau’s representative, at: meliqstarkman@yahoo.ca
