Story of the MFI Directory of Alternatives:

There are a lot of caring, effective mental health professionals. 

But MindFreedom is focused on people who have experienced abuse, neglect and harm at the hands of health care providers. According to an MFI survey, most of our members identify as psychiatric survivors. 

So our survivors of psychiatric violations should have extra reassurance about basic principles of quality and ethics of their mental health provider. While no guarantee, taking a pledge is a sign that a provider understands the special, complex needs of those who have been harmed by providers.

For background on the launch of the Directory in July 2009, see original news release here:
