Do you want to...

* Win human rights campaigns in mental health?

* End abuse by the psychiatric drug industry?

* Support self-determination of psychiatric survivors?

* Promote safe, humane, effective options in mental health?

You are not alone! MindFreedom is a nonprofit human rights group that

unites 100 sponsor and affiliate groups with individual members, and is

accredited by the United Nations as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO)

with Consultative Roster Status.

MindFreedom is one of the very few totally independent groups in the

mental health field with no funding from governments, drug companies,

religions, corporations, or the mental health system. While most of

MindFreedom's members are psychiatric survivors, *all* who support human

rights are invited to join and become active leaders.
