Normality screening hits the streets

Here's the same skit about how to screen normality, but taking it to the streets. This one was done in the middle of downtown Eugene, in front of a statue remembering Ken Kesey, who wrote the book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Bullhorn optional. MindFreedom has conducted more than 1,000 such screenings. So far no normality has been discovered.

We are MFI



Samantha Johnson, psychiatric survivor, MFI intern

Samantha Johnson is a 22-year-old psychiatric survivor who is interning at the MindFreedom International office. "I was absolutely in disbelief at how the people were treated at the hospital. It was an environment of emotional abuse interspersed with 'treatments' and 'policies' that could be more accurately described as assault. The tragic thing is that there really are some good people working there, but they are unable to provide people with the help they need inside a system that prioritizes profits over people. It might take five years of counseling for someone to truly recover from a mental health crisis, but it takes five minutes to tranquilize them. This is why I started working with MindFreedom. For 25 years MFI has been challenging the mental health system to see us as human beings- to treat us as human beings- through peaceful activism. At MFI we emphasize individual choice, empowerment, and compassion as necessary aspects of a true healing process."
