Liberation is a grass-roots organisation led by people with personal experience of mental distress/trauma (mostly, but not always people given a mental health diagnosis). Liberation’s aim is to champion implementation of the full human rights set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. We work closely with a wide range of organisations led by Disabled people, in England, where we are based, in other parts of the UK and in other countries. We also welcome joint action with organisations that are not user-led, but support full implementation of the Convention.
