Our History

MindFreedom International was founded on the principles of human rights, social justice, and empowerment. Our organization has a rich history of activism and advocacy, dating back to the 1990s. Over the years, we have worked tirelessly to promote alternatives to the traditional mental health system, and to challenge the oppressive and coercive practices that exist within the industry.

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote human rights, social justice, and empowerment in mental health care. We believe that individuals have the right to self-determination, and to make their own choices about their mental health care. We believe that mental health services should be based on mutual respect, trust, and compassion, rather than coercion and control. We believe that individuals should have access to a range of alternative mental health care options, and that they should be supported and empowered to take control of their own mental health.
