    ACTION: How *You* Can Promote Self-Directed, Safe and Humane Healing Approaches in Mental Health


by Matthew Morrissey, MindFreedom International (MFI) Board Member

Today -- July 4th, 2010 -- MindFreedom’s Directory of Mental Health Alternatives celebrates its one-year anniversary:

    http://www.mindfreedom.org/directory

Currently, we have providers listed in 18 states and 3 countries. Over the next year, we would like to have providers listed for every state in the USA, as well as including more international providers.

We need your help to meet this goal.

If you are receiving services from a provider whom you find helpful and sympathetic to MFI's vision, go to the MFI Directory Gateway, and download our new INFORMATION SHEETS here:

    http://www.mindfreedom.org/directory

The free Info Sheets are PDF's of a flyer, invitation letter and Statement of Principles. Bring these along with you the next time you see your provider. Encourage her or him to sign up on the Directory.

Or maybe you have some free time and want to take a simple, direct action in your area?

Then put up some of these INFO SHEETS at your community mental health clinic, local wellness center, or even educational institutions that teach psychology or other approaches to emotional healing.

No matter what, please forward this e-mail message -- perhaps with a few of your words of personal support -- to those who may be interested.

This is a unique way to introduce MFI and its vision to new people in your community.

Finally, if you are a provider of services who agrees with MindFreedom’s vision of a just and humane mental health system, please sign up to be listed on the Directory, which is currently free. How to sign up for the Directory is also at the MFI Directory Gateway, here:

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.
