Human rights in mental health, since 2003.
MindFreedom Ireland is a grassroots group of psychiatric survivors, families and allies working for choice, dignity and alternatives in mental health care.
What we stand for
Informed consent
Everyone has the right to full, honest information about psychiatric drugs and electroshock, and the right to say no.
Mutual support
Under our Stand by Me banner, people with lived experience listen to and support one another, in person and online.
Alternatives to force
We call for voluntary, humane and safe alternatives, including peer-run programmes, counselling, housing and advocacy.
