Welcome!

Rethinking Psychiatry is a movement dedicated to creating a more holistic, compassionate and effective approach to mental health care.

Action Groups

We are an organic group and expect to continue to grow and evolve.  At this point, due to the interest and passion of individuals or groups, eight action groups have emerged. Please contact the group facilitators for more information, or if you want to be included in any group.  Also, do be assured that Rethinking Psychiatry will be eager to support you and your interest if you do not find it below.

Mission Statement

At our September 21st general meeting, we framed our new Rethinking Psychiatry mission statement:

Mental health disorder labels often act as a cover for societal and situational problems. This paradigm is encouraged and exacerbated by powerful financial interests. By providing a safe, respectful and inclusive space for the sharing of the wealth of information, tools and experiences available to us all in meeting the challenges of mental, emotional and spiritual wellness, Rethinking Psychiatry is creating a more hopeful, humane and effective mental health care model.
