The Western Mass. Recovery Learning Community (RLC) is hosting "An Evening with David Oaks" on Monday, October 5th.  David Oaks is the Executive Director of MindFreedom International and was recently featured on ABC Primetime.  David is returning to old stomping grounds where he began his career as a member of the Mental Patient Liberation Front in Boston in 1976.  David will speak about his experiences with the consumer/survivor/ex-patient movement not only to provide us with important historical information, but also as a guide for where we should be going as an international peer movement.  Ample time will be given for an interactive discussion.




We are MFI



Geetha Rathnamala, psychiatric survivor

Geetha says, "I am an Indian-American psychiatric survivor from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I am proud to be a MFI member because I believe in the power of individuals working together to bring about a better world in which uniqueness, fundamental human rights, and different states of consciousness are treasured." MindFreedom launched a MindFreedom Shield campaign against the involuntary psychiatric drugging and lock-up that Geetha experienced in 2010.
