Freedom Center is going strong! After more than 9 years of fast-paced activism focus, Freedom Center is going strong -- and evolving.

Judi Chamberlin -- Always With UsSubmitted by admin on Mon, 01/18/2010 - 01:54.
Judi passed away. She recently wrote: I don't believe in an afterlife; I think when I die it will just be a return to the same nothingness as before my birth. I believe that the only 'afterlife' is the way one lives on in people's memories, and it has been so gratifying to me to hear from so many people who appreciate the work I've done and the positive effect I've had on their lives. So I feel confident that I will live on in the memories of many, many people, and that thought gives me great comfort. http://www.freedom-center.org/we-love-you-judi-chamberlin http://knowledgeisnecessity.blogspot.com/2010/01/judi-chamerlin-requiem-for-hero.html ( categories: )

National Disability Council Recognizes Freedom Center!Submitted by admin on Thu, 11/27/2008 - 19:19.
The report says The Freedom Center in Northampton, Massachusetts, is an example of a grassroots, independent program run by psychiatric survivors that receives only minimal funding, yet has developed a number of alternative programs to assist people to achieve their self-determined goals. The Freedom Center offers innovative approaches such as yoga classes and acupuncture, provides peer-run programs, helps people to find housing, and advocates for a noncoercive mental health system in which people are free to make their own choices about the kinds of treatment they want.
