MindFreedom International (MFI) Sponsor & Affiliate List
This is the public list of Sponsors and Affiliates that form a "Support Coalition" for MindFreedom International. A SPONSOR is an already-existing organization that has joined the coalition. An AFFILIATE has requested or is in the process of requesting to use the MindFreedom name in organizing (e.g., MindFreedom Ireland).
Sponsors and Affiliates have agreed to support the mission, goals and guidelines of MFI. Each group has a Liaison on the MindFreedom International Advisory Council (IAC), which provides suggestions to the MFI Board about strategy and campaigns.
The below public directory of MFI Sponsors and Affiliates is updated to the best of our ability, but may have inaccuracies. If your group is not yet listed, or there are inaccuracies, contact the office at office(at)MindFreedom(dot)org.
