Description
The Mad In America Foundation serves as a catalyst for rethinking psychiatric care in the United States (and abroad). It believes that the current drug-based paradigm of care has failed our society and promotes scientific research, as well as the lived experience, to provide alternative approaches. The foundation runs Mad In America Continuing Education - online courses taught by leading researchers in the field. Additionally, it publishes a webzine, madinamerica.com, which provides news of psychiatric research, original journalism articles, and a forum for an international group of writers.

Program areas at Mad In America Foundation

To publish a webzine, madinamerica.com, that provides news of psychiatric research, original journalism articles, and a forum for an international group of writers--people with lived experience, peer specialists, family members, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, program managers, journalists, attorneys, and more--to explore issues related to this goal of "remaking psychiatry."
To run Mad In America Continuing Education, which hosts online courses taught by leading researchers in the field. These courses provide a scientific critique of the existing paradigm of care, and tell of alternative approaches that could serve as the foundation for a new paradigm, one that emphasizes psychosocial care, and de-emphasizes the use of psychiatric medications, particularly over the long-term. While the general public may take the courses, we are primarily marketing the courses to provider organizations and mental health professionals, including psychiatrists. Also, revenues and expenses from Mad In America Continuing Education is now merged with town hall activities.
