From the Mental Health Resistance Network
Devastating news. Robert Dellar, an integral member of MHRN has died
today. We are in deep shock. Robert was one of the founders of Mad Pride
in the UK, has been both a worker in
mental health and an on and off survivor. His knowledge was extensive,
his integrity impeccable, his politics were based on compassion and
justice. How will we survive without this great man? We are at a loss
this evening. Robert organised a protest late in 2010 which was held in
Hyde Park and from this some of us were inspired to set up MHRN.
Recently he has been very active in MHRN and was one of the people who
took part in some iconic banner drops. He was a stabling force in MHRN,
unrestricted by convention, but always rational and reasonable. He was
also a talented writer, a great friend to us and to everyone who lived
with mental health issues and those who lived on the margins of society.
Whether you knew him or not, he was a friend. We loved him very much.
Campaigning for fairer & compassionate mental health care since 2007. Humane therapy, not DRUGS tyranny! Working together GREATER results can be achieved! (Pls, note that we are not longer meeting, but present in spirit)
