MIAW - Go Globe!
It may have been a long time ago, but in 2008 The Globe And Mail ran what appears to have been an amazing special series on mental health - Breakdown. So interesting! The part of the website dedicated to the series is still running but sadly some the features are no longer active (like where you could share your experiences and describe what single change in society or policy would help the most then The Globe sent all of the messages to every member of Parliament in Canada, in hopes they could help to break down the stigma of mental illness.) The articles, discussions, and other items of interest are still worth checking out. The most recent of which is from the end of February 2009. I hope they return to this series or do another one soon. Amazing journalism. Great information. Interesting stories.

I’ve been going in and out of Breakdown since I followed the link to The Globe, reading the different sections and reports, learning and at the same time feeling burdened by the emotional weight contained in the stories. I have also forwarded it to colleagues and friends, especially to a few living in Canada although the relevance of the issues is pertinent to all countries and cultures. Also, something I could not help realizing is that even though The Globe has done a great job on this, they have not succeeded in the follow-through, as you’ve mentioned, some of the features are no longer active and comments are outdated , leaving me with a sense of abandoned cause on their part. Thanks.
