We have been supported by individual donors, small grants, and limited support from the City of Northampton Community Development Block Grant and Resist,Inc., but we receive no money from pharmaceutical companies.

We need your help to continue our important work!

Freedom Center is a support and activism community run by and for people labeled with severe 'mental disorders.' We call for compassion, human rights, self-determination, and holistic options. We create alternatives to the mental health system's widespread despair, abuse, fraudulent science and dangerous treatments. We are based in pro-choic harm reduction philosophy regarding medical treatments, and include people taking or not talking medications.

"Freedom Center is a valuable option for many of our residents. It is a welcome addition to services available to citizens of our city."

Mary Clare Higgins, Mayor of Northampton
