MindFreedom members may register for the MindFreedom Shield Program for free. If a registered member is threatened with or experiences psychiatric procedures against his or her will, the member may activate the MindFreedom Shield Solidarity Network.

The MindFreedom Shield sends out public human rights alerts to help expose the coercion and apply nonviolent pressure to defend the member's human rights. For example, pictured on the right is Gabe Hadd, a MindFreedom member in Michigan who was being forcibly drugged on an outpatient basis. That is, he was court-ordered to take psychiatric drugs in his own home. MFI Shield sent out one of its first alerts on behalf of Gabe, and Gabe was able to find resources to create an "underground railroad" over state lines and escape his outpatient forced drugging. His story was featured on the front page of a Wall St. Journal article about forced outpatient drugging.
