B4U-ACT is collecting stories of MAPs who have experienced violations of their human or civil rights by the mental or behavioral health systems. If you have had such an experience, we would like to hear about it. Your story can be as anonymous or public as you like. We will not ask for any information that could trigger mandatory reporting.
If you are willing to help, please go to b4uact.org/injustice-maps/ for more information and to submit a description of your experience. Please forward this message to other MAPs you feel might be able to assist in this endeavor.
B4U-ACT is supporting a new study led by Lucas Walters, a PhD student at the University of Ottawa, as part of his doctoral research on sexual attractions. This study aims to understand how sexual attraction may change over time, and with life events.
The study is a three part longitudinal study. Participating involves taking a 15-minute survey, followed by additional 15-minute surveys 6 and 12 months later. The researchers will send the second and third survey links to an email address provided by the participant, which can be accessed for 48 hours after receiving the reminder email. Data from survey responses will be stored securely, and will not be associated with the email address provided. It is also possible to use an anonymous email address from a secure provider (such as Proton Mail or Skiff).
Eligible participants are age 16 or over (18 or over if living in Quebec, Canada), and proficient in English. People who fit this description are invited to participate using the link below:
