Public Forum: Presentation & Moderated Discussion
Martin Rafferty, Youth Outreach Coordinator MindFreedom
David Oaks, Director, MindFreedom International

Doctors are putting children as young as two years old on super-powerful psychiatric drugs like Abilify and Zyprexa without adequate advocacy, alternatives and full information. What creative actions -- such as skits, YouTube videos, and public events -- can we all do in 2008 to speak out?

All welcome. Free refreshments. Wheelchair accessible call ahead.

Lynne Salvi, psychiatric survivor

Lynne M. Salvi [1963 - 2011] was an activist with MindFreedom Lane County. She experienced 24 years of human rights violations in the mental health system. Lynne said, "Since finding MindFreedom and becoming a member, my life changed dramatically. I found many people who understand through experience without words. MindFreedom feels like a reunion of family I never knew before. This connection and encouragement give me the courage to speak out. I am grateful to find myself using those painful experiences to help others. Today I am medication-free and psychiatrist-free for the first time." See "Related Content" below for writing by Lynne.
