The PSY’COZY’UM is a free Consumer/Survivor-only event at the May Robinson Auditorium. It takes place the day before the 2008 Intar/Leadership Project conference.

The Psychosium is a one-day event bringing together psychiatric survivors from around the world interested in alternatives, recovery, and advocacy. The Psychosium is free and provides the local community with an opportunity to make an informal, and more political connection with some of the international guests presenting at the conference. With contributions by Jasna Russo, Dan Taylor, Ron Bassman, Oryx Cohen, Peter Lehmann etc.

Dorothy Dundas

While institutionalized for three years as an adolescent in the 1960's, MindFreedom member Dorothy Washburn Dundas was labeled a "schizophrenic" and forced to undergo 40 combined insulin coma-electroshock "treatments." Dorothy says, "I experienced and witnessed many atrocities. I believe that luck, determination, and my own anger and one compassionate advocate were my best friends on the road to my ultimate survival and freedom." Through a number of op-ed pieces, she has voiced her opposition to abusive psychiatric practices. Her poster, "Behind Locked Doors," which she created from her hospital records, is used in training programs. Dorothy lives in the Boston area where she has raised her four wonderful children. She founded and is the sole driver in her "safe, friendly and reliable" car service called The Crystal Lake Express.
