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.
