For Survivors of Mental Health Abuse

This place is for you if:

  • You were harmed, hurt, invalidated, or dehumanized while receiving mental “health” services
  • Something happened within mental health “care” that felt deeply wrong
  • You were blamed for your perception or your “behavior” — or otherwise blamed for their mistakes
  • You experienced psychiatric abuse, therapy abuse, other mental health abuse, or a 72-hour hold that was premature or even turned violent
  • You were coerced, restrained, involuntarily medicated, dehumanized or gaslit by a provider
  • You want to understand your rights, your legal options, and the laws that were supposed to protect you
  • You don’t have a name for what happened, but it felt wrong and hurtful; you belong here.
  • You are ready to stand up — for yourself, and alongside others

We offer peer support, validation, shared language, and practical tools for navigating complaint processes, accessing your medical records, and understanding your legal rights as a psychiatric survivor.

We believe you.

We will never publish your story without your consent.

The system will do everything it can to shame and blame you. That stops on this site.
