>> the
>> Net provides new and enhanced opportunities for increasing
>> self-determination for people with psychiatric disabilities. It links
>> individuals with online communities, like-minded peers, thorough
>> mental
>> health and health information, and tools for taking charge of their
>> own
>> lives. This webcast will address current trends and web-based resources
>> in
>> these areas, with sessions focusing particularly on community activism
>> and
>> employment. A moderated panel will conclude the webcast with personal
>> stories of self-determination and a brief discussion about how one
>> might
>> assess the reliability of information found on the Internet.
