Happy September!

September is Collective Speech Month in Quebec. A time dedicated to amplifying the voices of people affected by mental health throughout Quebec. Droits et Recours Santé Mentale and ReprésentACTION Gaspésie-Les-Îles invite you to take part.

This year, we invite you to continue exploring the theme of "Our power to act", this time in the light of the words collected during the last edition.

The collective is also honored with a visual arts contest and a call for entries that rewards collective works!

We are delighted to invite you here to discover the website dedicated to the event and the Journal du Mois de la Parole Collective en santé mentale, which is available in electronic version at www.parolecollective.org/2025 .

As you can see, the journal is available in PDF format. Focusing on our power to act, it offers valuable insights and testimonials.

Several copies of the paper version are currently distributed in CLSC waiting rooms and hospital mental health departments, as well as to our partner organizations. On the dedicated website, you can also request your paper version of the newsletter to be mailed directly to your home.

In closing, we'd like to highlight the participation of our Gaspesian delegates, Patrick Ferland and Patrick Jacques, on the organizing committee for this fine event.

And we wish you an excellent Mois de la Parole Collective!
