OMQ now offering digital editions through Kobo!

 

Open Minds Quarterly is thrilled to announce that we are now offering digital subscriptions and single copies of our magazine through Kobo! In partnership with Magazines Canada, Kobo, and 49th shelf, we are now a part of the Cultural Online Boutique. The Boutique was created in an effort to bring cultural magazines to digital publishing platforms, specifically promoting unique Canadian literature. Through offering the voices of mental health consumer/survivors both in print and in pixel formats, we aim to reach more individuals touched by mental illness, broadening the awareness of our work, encouraging open discussions, and stamping out more of the stigma associated with mental illness.

It’s about recovery, wherever you are.

From Our Readers

"As someone with a couple of debilitating mental illnesses, it is always both a comfort and an encouragement to read the work of other writers and patients who go through similar things. I learn from their experiences and insights, and also take heart in knowing that I'm not the only one fighting this. "

"After all these years I have yet to find another quality mental health zine like Open Minds Quarterly"
