MindFreedom seeks an expression of your interest…initially we are interested in developing a network of natural health and advocacy allies and starting a dialog to see how we can work together.
Friends and supporters of MindFreedom,
MindFreedom International is developing an educational campaign around the value of good quality food and nutrition and a healthy lifestyle in maintaining or recovering vibrant health–mental/emotional/physical. Please, if you are interested in being involved, please send us an email with your contact information (name and email address at a minimum), areas of interest and brief bio about you and your organization or program to:
MFIHealthConnections@mindfreedom.org
We are initially interested in developing a network of natural health and advocacy allies and starting a dialog to see how we can work together.
A possible first project: creation of a clearinghouse of information, allies, resources and ideas on the link between good health practices and resilient mental health.
