At this pivotal moment, western societies are entrenched in a profound mental health crisis, partly influenced by how we understand and treat human suffering. Common and expected reactions to stressful events are being pathologized, inaccurately categorized as psychiatric disorders, and haphazardly treated with psychiatric drugs. Alarmingly, patients are frequently not informed about the potential risks linked to these drugs and medical misinformation is rampant.

This absence of informed consent represents a serious ethical violation, depriving individuals of their fundamental right to make fully informed decisions regarding their mental health care. Industrial deception amplifies the perceived benefits of these drugs while downplaying their well-documented harms. As a result, adverse drug reactions and undiagnosed health conditions are frequently misconstrued as indicators of deteriorating mental health, trapping individuals in a cycle of enduring disability.

The pharmaceutical industry has hijacked our collective understanding of mental health, molding medical professionals into legalized drug dealers through their training and influence. Additionally, mental health therapists are widely influenced by industry deception, political ideology, and shifting cultural norms. Who can we rely on for compassionate, ethical, and unbiased mental healthcare information? Where can we find the accurate resources needed to make informed decisions about our healthcare? What alternative explanations or treatments may exist?

We're embarking on a bold mission to revolutionize mental healthcare. Our objective is straightforward: to connect individuals and families with ethical health practitioners who respect your personal values and champion your right to medical freedom and informed consent. By fearlessly challenging the established norms of the medical authority and the psychiatric industry, we're transparently revealing the limitations and potential harms of psychiatric diagnoses and treatments. 

We're rallying an army of supporters to help us reach $25,000 that's needed NOW to develop the platform, with a target of $150,000 to help build and grow the program. This investment is pivotal, as it will provide the initial funding necessary to launch our online platform and kick-start our programmatic initiatives. Together, we can save and transform lives. Will you join us?

With your contribution, we will build a robust online community, which will launch in late 2024:

• Introducing a searchable database designed to empower individuals and families in accessing ethical mental health specialists and healthcare professionals within their locality. Committed to upholding the principles of informed consent, medical freedom, and personal autonomy, all clinicians in this database have pledged adherence to the Conscious Clinician Compact and are part of our collective.
• Our platform grants access to a diverse array of science-based health information spanning multiple disciplines. By providing this comprehensive resource, we empower individuals to make informed decisions regarding their mental health and overall well-being.

Thank you for joining the collective.
