Information about MindFreedom News Hour

 

Free Every Tuesday at 1 pm EST just click on http://www.theprn.org

 

This is a free weekly public Internet radio show every Tuesday about a

nonviolent revolution in the mental health system, hosted by

psychiatric rights activist David Oaks.

 

The initial launch had technical problems the last two weeks, but the

producers at Progressive Radio Network (PRN) have assured us it's all

cleared up. We'll post information about the shows with Ted Chabasinski

and Celia Brown, with corrected audio levels, as soon as possible.

 

The MindFreedom News Hour launched as part of a diverse and significant

array of new shows on PRN with leadership from radio personality and

health advocate Gary Null.

 

On each show you'll hear hear news, resources, and an interview. Future

shows will cover the history of the psychiatric survivor movement, how

psychiatric survivors and concerned mental health professionals are

working together on human rights campaigns, and more. Regular features

include networking announcements about successful activism and

alternatives.

 

Each show also has an " Escape Tip " about how you and your loved ones

can peacefully and effectively avoid, evade or flee psychiatric

coercion, force and fraud... and keep on fighting for human rights.

 

Also watch for future announcements about how to listen to archived

shows.
