This presentation compares three websites that advocate for the MAD (mental health liberation) movement: PsychRights, NARPA, and MAD in America. PsychRights focuses on providing legal counsel to those diagnosed with mental illness. NARPA aims to promote patient choice in treatment and end forced treatment. MAD in America serves as a forum for rethinking psychiatry and building a community around alternative perspectives. Both NARPA and MAD in America are run largely by former psychiatric patients and aim to empower patient voices. While the sites provide useful information and serve important roles, opportunities exist to improve areas like design, accessibility, and community engagement.
Beyond Back To Normal: The Rise Of Community-Empowered Health On RedditWill Cady
As people today discover more lifestyles, products, and strategies for navigating their personal health, definitions of Wellness & Performance have broadened across a much wider spectrum. On Reddit, a clearly defined path toward personal betterment has become clear -- and some of the most impactful helping hands along the way have come from brands and industries you might not have once expected.
From this presentation, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of:
-Reddit Communities across the Wellness & Performance spectrum
-User journeys from "back to normal" to "beyond normal" in Focus, Sport, and Health (Mind, Body, and Spirit)
-The opportunity for any brand from any space to earn consumer trust by activating in these communities
Presentation by Leah Harris provides a human rights perspective on the importance of telling your story as a path to healing and social change/social justice.
Understanding Systems to Advocate Within Systems: Creating Optimal Reach With...RaeMartens
This document provides an overview of strategies for effective advocacy and policy influence. It discusses the importance of understanding systems in order to advocate within them and maximize the reach of advocacy messages. It emphasizes building partnerships, using stories and lived experience as a form of evidence, aligning recommendations with government priorities, and developing relationships with policymakers. The document also stresses the value of collaboration, using multiple types of evidence, addressing both benefits and limitations, and having clear goals and evaluation plans.
The document compares the websites of two luxury hotels in Venice, Italy: Hotel Molino Stucky and Hotel Cà Sagredo.
Hotel Cà Sagredo's website is found to be easier to use, with booking options prominently displayed and an attractive design that conveys the hotel's luxury and Venetian style. The website effectively balances showcasing the hotel and membership in the Small Luxury Hotels group.
In contrast, Hotel Molino Stucky's more formal website does not convey the same sense of quality and luxury. As a Hilton property, the website emphasizes group branding over the unique hotel. The document recommends Hotel Molino Stucky improve its less attractive website to better represent the hotel's

This document provides guidance on evaluating educational websites based on their origin, design, content, accessibility, and currency. It lists specific criteria for each category, such as whether the website clearly indicates its author and purpose, is easy to navigate, contains up-to-date and accurate information appropriate for its intended audience, loads quickly, and requires any special plugins. Examples are given of websites that likely meet or do not meet these evaluation criteria. Resources for further information on website evaluation are also provided.
The document compares the websites of two four-star hotels, Hotel Splendid Etoile and Hotel Bedford. Both hotels have clear, easy to navigate websites with pictures and information on rooms and booking. Hotel Splendid Etoile allows sharing on social media and has reviews, while Hotel Bedford lacks social media links and reviews. The websites effectively express the quality of each hotel and services, though neither is distinctly different from the other.

The Arctic Monkeys website uses consistent colors throughout that match their logo, making their brand easily recognizable to fans. Their homepage features their latest music video to promote their band and most recent album. While their gig page layout is similar to another band's page, Arctic Monkeys can include a past gigs section as they are a much larger band. The website utilizes a basic color scheme and readable font that makes navigation easy for audiences. Their store page also has uniformly sized and spaced images and products, looking polished, and offers a wider selection given their more established status than the compared band.
User interface design aims to create systems that are usable and adaptable to changing user needs. Good UI design considers principles of layout, color theory, and negative space while ensuring visibility of system status and directing attention to important elements. Forms and input fields should be automatically focused to improve usability. Error messages should be polite, consistent, and constructive based on the user's background and experience.
The document discusses various design patterns for human-computer interaction and user interfaces. It describes patterns for layout, like visual frameworks that ensure consistent use of layout, color and style. It also discusses patterns for user controls and interactions, such as button groups, progress indicators, and previews that show users what will happen before they take actions. The document is a lecture on these different design patterns and their applications in interface design.
This document presents a project proposal for an app called Sable that aims to improve the customer experience at restaurants. It discusses ideas like allowing customers to customize their food order and share their dining experience on social media. The document outlines the project scope, findings from customer interviews, proposed technology features like order tracking and feedback, and mockups of the app's user interface. It also includes an evaluation of the mockups based on usability heuristics principles and proposes solutions to identified usability problems.
The document outlines the steps taken in an HCI project from analysis to design, design to implementation, and interface design. It discusses creating personas, user stories, and hierarchical task analysis. Storyboards were created for each page along with an entity relationship diagram and visual prototype.

This document outlines the design process undertaken for a portfolio project. It includes sections on observation and persona creation, idea elaboration and validation, wireframing, visual design, storyboarding, and creating a video fly-through. The process followed a waterfall approach due to constraints of the course, but the author notes it would have been better to take a more iterative Lean UX approach to allow for faster idea validation and testing at each stage of design.
This document introduces ILLUSIO, an augmented reality solution that allows women considering breast augmentation to visualize what they will look like with implants. Nearly 3 million breast augmentations are performed worldwide each year to increase self-esteem and body image. Existing 3D imaging tools are limited as they show static images and lack realism. ILLUSIO uses marker-based AR tracking and computer animation integrated with surgeon and patient feedback to create a mirror that shows women their potential results. It aims to improve communication between surgeons and patients by allowing patients to clearly communicate their goals and for surgeons to ensure they understand each patient's desired outcome.
Web Performance Culture and Tools at EtsyMike Brittain
Etsy's performance culture is led by a team of two that focuses on measuring performance data, building tools to analyze logs and servers, training engineers, and motivating teams. They use tools like Logster to aggregate Apache logs into Graphite for generating graphs of metrics like response times. Profiling tools help identify slow database queries, services, and third party calls. The goal is to prove that improved speed leads to more usage and make all engineers consider performance in their work.
Validately.com is a usability testing platform that needs redesigning to improve user experience. The current home page does not clearly explain what the product does, resulting in a high bounce rate. Usability testing found violations of key principles like learnability, efficiency, and satisfaction. The proposal is to redesign the home page and demo flow to better communicate Validately's value and make the product easier to learn and use.
Graphical User Interface (GUI) in Java uses classes from the javax.swing and java.awt packages to implement GUI programs. Swing classes provide greater compatibility across operating systems compared to AWT classes. Common Swing components include JButton, JLabel, JTextField, JTextArea, JCheckBox, JRadioButton, JComboBox, JList, JSlider and more. GUI programs require containers like JFrame and JPanel to hold components. Layout managers determine how components are arranged in containers. Common layouts include FlowLayout, BorderLayout and GridLayout. Menus are implemented using JMenuBar, JMenu and JMenuItem classes.
Wolfram Alpha is a computational knowledge engine that calculates answers from its own database rather than searching the internet. It can be used to add, subtract, multiply, find derivatives, convert between units, look up facts, compare values, and more. For example, it can show you a piano chord, calculate percentages, or provide statistics on fish production in different countries. While it has more information about some parts of the world than others, Wolfram Alpha is continuously expanding its knowledge base.
Today, a web page can be delivered to desktop computers, televisions, or handheld devices like tablets or phones. While a technique like responsive design helps ensure that our web sites look good across that spectrum of devices we may forget that we need to make sure that our web sites also perform well across that same spectrum. More and more of our users are shifting their Internet usage to these more varied platforms and connection speeds with some moving entirely to mobile Internet.
In this session we’ll look at the tools that can help you understand, measure and improve the web performance of your web sites and applications. The talk will also discuss how new server-side techniques might help us optimize our front-end performance. Finally, since the best way to test is to have devices in your hand, we’ll discuss some tips for getting your hands on them cheaply.
This presentation builds upon Dave’s “Optimization for Mobile” chapter in Smashing Magazine’s “The Mobile Book.”
This talk was given at the Responsive Web Design Summit hosted by Environments for Humans.
This is a DRAFT (not the final version) of a PRD I did while working at Jewelry Television (JTV). Serving as a E-commerce Product Manager was part of my job at JTV, and I wrote many of these PRDs and BRDs (Business Requirements Documents), of varying lengths and complexity. This one, though not complete, is fairly detailed.

This document summarizes usability testing done on a calendar-based software prototype. Two techniques were used: interviews and scenario-based observations with 12 participants total. The interview questions focused on desired functionality, workflow fit, and satisfaction. Results showed 70-75% satisfaction. Scenario testing evaluated tasks and functionality; results showed 56-95% success. In conclusion, the software was functionally satisfactory but needs improved structure when navigating between pages.

The document discusses the X-Men franchise and the film X-Men: Apocalypse. It provides a mixed review of the original X-Men trilogy and prefers X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The review is also mixed on X-Men: Apocalypse, though leaning positive. It summarizes the plot and sets up the villain Apocalypse. Praise is given to the performances of James McAvoy as Professor X, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, and Evan Peters as Quicksilver.
The document discusses support groups, which are voluntary organizations formed by people with common health conditions or hardships to provide mutual help and support. It outlines the history and rise of support groups from the 1930s onward. It explains that support groups are important for information sharing, advocacy, research, and establishing treatment guidelines. However, some groups may lack accountability or focus more on common conditions. The document encourages wider societal support and participation in support groups to help those facing challenging health issues.

Originally presented for CHNA (Community Health Network Area) 18, a local coalition of public, non-profit, and private sectors working together to build healthier communities in Massachusetts through community-based prevention planning and health promotion
This workshop was designed to help familiarize participants with how social media (such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and blogs) is being used on a routine basis to bolster existing communication and engagement strategies.
This document provides guidance for grant-making organizations to support projects that address mental health stigma and discrimination through social contact. It discusses the impact of stigma, how social contact works to reduce prejudice by facilitating conversations between those with and without lived experience, and how to evaluate social contact projects. The top things funders should look for in applications are that the project will reach the public, focus on one-to-one conversations, be led by those with lived experience, provide robust volunteer training and support, and be community-led. Case studies and resources are also provided.
1. Social media is changing how health information is shared, as people can now discuss topics on platforms like Twitter.
2. The FDA has not provided clear guidance for pharmaceutical companies on social media use, but holds meetings to get public input on developing guidelines.
3. Some key challenges for healthcare companies engaging on social media include adverse event reporting and maintaining fair balance in discussions.
This document provides guidance on conducting community-based human rights documentation. It discusses identifying issues to document, selecting interviewers, developing interview guides, obtaining informed consent, selecting interviewees, establishing rapport, and next steps. The document is based on experiences documenting discrimination in healthcare settings against people living with HIV in Cambodia, China, Myanmar and Vietnam. Eight community-based organizations in these countries were trained to document rights violations using a participatory approach, where communities played a role in all stages of the research process. This resulted in a report finding widespread discrimination undermining HIV responses, such as segregated waiting areas and refusal of surgery due to HIV status.
The Community Manager's Guide to Mental Health PreparednessCosette Paneque
The document provides guidance for community managers on preparing for and responding to mental health issues online. It defines mental health and discusses its prevalence in Australia. It then outlines steps community managers can take to reduce stigma, encourage help-seeking behavior, and foster community connectivity. It also provides tips for responding to users in distress, developing referral resources, supporting staff, and prioritizing self-care.
This document discusses the revolution of the e-patient and e-doctor through online and social media platforms. It provides data on increasing usage of social media in healthcare, including statistics on patients searching for health information online and engaging with social networks. Examples are given of pharmaceutical and medical organizations utilizing social media and various health-related applications are mentioned.
Human rights and citizenship in community mental healthVMIAC
The document discusses human rights and citizenship in community mental health. It makes four key points:
1) Human rights are not separate from quality and safety in mental health services. Limiting rights is emotionally harmful.
2) Thinking must evolve to view mental health experiences as meaningful reactions rather than just symptoms, and give consumers leadership roles.
3) Only services that support personal recovery through diverse bio-psycho-social options and are led by consumers should be funded.
4) Achieving equality, by addressing violence, discrimination and disadvantages consumers face, is important for mental health and rights.
wo sisters, Lindsay and Lexie Kite, devoted almost a decade to explo.docxcooperapleh
wo sisters, Lindsay and Lexie Kite, devoted almost a decade to exploring images of so-called beauty in television, movies, and magazines. What they discovered was that girls and women are exposed to an almost constant barrage of media messages that only certain body types are beautiful and that to appear less than model-thin calls for extreme measures such as the digital alteration of photographs. The sisters devised an idea they called “Beauty Redefined,” which aimed to promote healthy body image and self-esteem among girls and to challenge the popular media’s unrealistic female images. They soon discovered the benefits of networking and found potential partners in unexpected places—such as the makers of Dove products—who shared their goals. The sisters concluded that the partnerships they forged were their most important asset in spreading their message.
Why are partnerships so important to public health programs? Partnerships are integral to advocacy and funding. When reaching out to others for help in building a public health program, consider both private and public partnerships. Ask yourself, “Who else would be interested in this initiative? What other groups not traditionally associated with this health issue might have a stake in the same public health problem or initiative? Who stands to benefit if my program is successful?” Learning how to partner with others may be the key to making your public health program a reality.
In public health initiatives, building partnerships is not merely a matter of asking others to join you to support the program, but asking them to advocate for the program as well. It is important to be aware of both the benefits and challenges related to advocacy in building effective partnerships to develop an effective public health program.
For this Discussion, review the media titled
Raising Partnerships, Raising Funds.
Consider some of the ways in which the organizations depicted used information to cultivate partnerships and increase advocacy for their public health program in their community. Think of the practical tasks necessary in building partnerships other than communicating needs, and the challenges you might face in recruiting partners.

This document discusses alternatives to protest and policymaking for addressing social issues. It begins by describing some protests and lobbying efforts the author engaged in regarding education policies. It then discusses the author's experience in a teachers union policymaking body, noting a lack of democracy.
The document goes on to describe how the author began doing research on alternatives and came across a video pointing beyond protest and policy. Examples discussed include 5th graders who started a biodiesel recycling program, illiterate women in Bangladesh who received loans to start businesses through the Grameen Bank, and Kurds in Syria who formed democratic governing structures. The document suggests average citizens can directly work to solve problems in their communities rather than pleading with politicians. It encourages
Policy Brief: The Impact of Community-Based Training on Mental Illness and Su...AmandaAblan
Mental illness has become a leading cause of crimes, suicides, and emotional instability. While Georgia has laws to assist those struggling with mental health, resources are difficult to access as patients are often unaware of available help due to stigma. The document examines proposed solutions to increase community support and prevent suicide. It also discusses Georgia's Mandatory Treatment Law allowing involuntary treatment for those who cannot seek care voluntarily.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

2. Statement of Purpose
This
presentation will address the way in
which several websites active in the MAD
Movement have succeeded in
advocating for the liberalization of mental
health patient care and increased
patient freedom.
3. Mad Movement: What is it?
Movement
led largely by former
psychiatric in-patients (those formerly
institutionalized in asylums) pushing for
reforms to the psychiatric system as a
result of abuses they had endured, the
stigmas they faced, and their lack of self
control (failure to cede decision making
power to stakeholders).1
4. MAD Movement: Support
Feminist
movement
Radical professionals
Gay liberation movement
Revitalization of the self help doctrine
Mental hygiene movement
5. MAD Movement Support:
Feminist Movement
In
the late 19th century the early feminist
movement combatted the medical
establishment with regard to its then
treatment of women’s medical
conditions.
This criticism made the feminist movement
natural allies of other organizations critical
of the established medical community.1
6. MAD Movement Support:
Radical Professionals
RD Laing led the charge of radical
professionals in reinterpreting schizophrenia as
“an altered mode of consciousness rather
than as a pathological condition.”
These critiques were usually tied to a critique
of society from a politically theoretical
perspective. These critiques were Marxist,
existentialist, anything but medical.
Even though these professionals generally
ignored patient perspectives, they still
advocated for priorities in line with the desires
of the MAD Movement as a whole.1
7. MAD Movement Support: Gay
Liberation Movement
As
homosexuality was seen for a long time
as a psychiatric illness, those attempting
to recategorize homosexuality found
themselves as natural allies to the MAD
movement.
This forceful opposition to the
homosexuality as a mental illness led
others to question the validity of their own
affliction’s designations.1
8. MAD Movement Support: Self
Help Doctrine
A general trend re-emerged, in the United States
especially, for individuals to wrest control back
from professionals.
There was a trend toward specialization across a
multitude of disciplines. This led to discourse
between professionals and the general public to
become increasingly difficult.
As a reaction, the general public, and
psychiatrized individuals in particular, took their
treatment into their own hands, often opting to
avoid professional advice or intervention.1
9. MAD Movement Support:
Mental Hygiene Movement
The idea of the mental hygiene movement
ran counter to the prevailing medical ideas.
The belief was that mental illness could be
prevented, and that prevention should be the
focus rather than treatment.
Although somewhat tangential to the
movement itself, the efforts of the mental
hygiene movement put pressure on the
psychiatric community to alter its approach
to mental illness in general.1
10. Modern Manifestation of the
MAD Movement
With
the introduction of the internet, it has
become much easier for smaller groups
with lower capital to advocate for the
MAD Movement.
This diversification has its benefits (more
topics covered, easier dissemination of
ideas, lower startup costs, etc.). It also has
its drawbacks (reduced oversight,
overstretching human resources, potential
inconsistency, etc.)
11. Going Forward
Every
movement has its pros and cons,
and every advocate for a cause also has
its strengths and weaknesses. We will
highlight these for three websites,
comparing the effectiveness of the
campaigns, while recognizing the
differing scopes and mission statements of
the websites.
12. Psychrights: Mission
Psychrights.org
is a non-profit website
dedicated to The Law Project for Psychiatric
Rights. Their goal is to provide individual legal
counsel in an attempt to reduce the abuses
endured by people who have been
diagnosed with a mental illness.
13. Psychrights: Position
One area of focus is that court ordered
psychiatric drugging is problematic, as
psychiatric drugs and other treatments such
as ECT may have damaging side effects to
the brain and body.
Psychrights aims to educate the public on
alternatives to the use of psychoactive drugs.
It is their position that such drugs are often
unnecessary, especially when administered to
youth and the underprivileged.
14. Psychrights: Pros
Contains
articles from peer reviewed
journals and lists events and topics
relevant to those advocating for the
mentally ill.
This lends credibility to the site and
distinguishes it from organizations that are
less rigorous. (It is important to note that
there still may be biases reflected in the
organizations choice of what resources to
present to the general public.)
15. Psychrights: Pros
This website attempts to help individuals as
well as the MAD Movement as a whole.
On the front page there is a link to
MADinamerica.com
The CEO of psychrights Jim Gottstein has
written articles for MADinamerica.com
Articles on psychrights also published on MAD
in America. (This focus on MAD in America
indicates a recognition of MAD in America as
a hub for information related to the MAD
Movement)
16. Psychrights: Pros
The
finances of the organization are
publically posted on the site, which shows
exactly where all the donations have
been allocated.
This is important for accountability. The
transparency allows donors and
stakeholders to place increased faith in
the quality of the work the organization
performs.
17. Psychrights: Cons
The
site has a rather boring appearance
that doesn’t intrigue the reader.
The interface of the site is outdated,
demonstrating a lack of professionalism.
This can lead to a reduction of both user
interest and trust.
18. Psychrights: Cons
The
site has a great deal of information,
however, no new information has been
added since the third quarter of last year.
As such, users are unlikely to encounter
current information on new developments
in this field.
19. Psychrights: Cons
This
site has failed to maximally utilize
social media as evidenced by the low
number of followers on both Facebook
and Twitter.
This trend is likely to be exacerbated by
the failure of the site to remain up to date.
20. NARPA: Mission
“NARPA’s
mission is to promote polices
and pursue strategies that result in
individuals with psychiatric diagnose
making their own choices regarding
treatment. We educate and mentor those
individuals to enable them to exercise
their legal and human rights with a goal of
abolition of all forced treatment”(2014)2.
21. NARPA: Position
The NARPA organization is a non-governmental
organization and is solely supported by its
members. This organization is run by a
combination of individuals that have either
survived or worked in the psychiatric system. These
include, but are not limited to, lawyers, mental
health workers and civil right activists. The
common goal is the liberalization of individuals to
self-determination with regards to psychiatric
treatment.
The diversity of the composition of their
membership is comparable to the membership of
the MAD movement at its inception.
22. NARPA: Pros
NARPA
has received awards for public
service and has information about
workshops and presentations.
This suggests both an interest in
community involvement and an interest
from the community to be involved.
23. NARPA: Pros
This
site maintains up to date information
and draws its resources from a national
and global community.
This demonstrates a breadth of both
geographical and topical diversity. As
such, members of numerous communities
have access to current and relevant
information.
24. NARPA: Pros
The
website supports subsidized
memberships, which makes participation
more accessible to marginalized
individuals, especially those in lower
income brackets.
It also has an easy to use donation
system, to allow more affluent and
capable members to support and
maintain the organization’s operations.
25. NARPA: Cons
By
not having either an onsite chat
feature or forum, the site misses an
opportunity for easy community
involvement.
It prevents people from actively engaging
with the material and removing an
avenue for critique and discussion. This
omission also decreases the likelihood of
attracting new membership.
26. NARPA: Cons
The
lack of information on the board of
directors leads to a lack of transparency.
This is generally a poor decision for a nonprofit organization. It decreases willingness
to donate and engage, as there is a lack
of accountability for the utilization of
resources. It also masks what future path
the site is likely to take, or what external
unknown affiliations may exist.
27. NARPA: Cons
The
layout of the site makes it almost
unusable. Although style can be
superfluous, this site borrows its structure
from amateurish sites reminiscent of the
1990s.
This overt lack of professionalism is a
powerful detractor and will likely dissuade,
even intent users, from reading site
content almost immediately.
28. Video
The following is a short
video on why NARPA is
important to the
consumers of the
psychiatric system. Robert
Whitaker speaks about
how people are
oppressed and their rights
are taken away from
them in the system. As
well about how this needs
to be changed and a
great start to this are
organizations like NARPA.
This organization tries to
counter the psychiatric
system and protect
people’s rights.
Robert Whitaker is a
medical writer and is
associated with the MAD
movement. He wrote the
book Mad in America
and is well educated in
the field. He talks about
NARPA as a very
important part of the
MAD movement.

29. MAD in America: Mission
The MAD in America organization, through its
website and other projects, aims to become
a forum for rethinking psychiatry and building
a community of people interested in that
topic.
This project is being run by bloggers on that
include people with lived experience, peer
specialists, psychiatrists, psychologists, social
workers, program managers, social activists,
attorneys, and journalists.
30. MAD in America: Position
Mad in America was founded to alter the
current paradigm of mental health care by
addressing three central questions:
Why are long term outcomes so poor for
psychiatric patients in the US and other
affluent countries?
Why is the literature on treatment and its
effectiveness so different from the information
generally disseminated to the public?
Why is the voice of the patients themselves so
frequently absent from the discussion?
31. MAD in America: Pros
Has
a large database of professional and
lived-experience editorials reflecting the
current and ongoing debate about
psychiatric care.
This diversity of writers gives a vast
knowledge base from experts in this
area, be it professional or personal
expertise.
32. MAD in America: Pros
The
primary contributors to the site all
have detailed biographies, allowing the
users to assess the validity of the
information.
This transparency about content
contribution allows for several positive
outcomes: increased user engagement,
accountability, and assurance of the true
diversity of opinions.
33. MAD in America: Pros
The website currently sees a visitor rate of
85,000 users per month, and that frequency is
increasing. Additionally, more than 20% of
users are outside of the United States.
This broad reach is significant for both
community involvement, and an ability to
disseminate information. Consequently, this
broader reach has the potential to pressure
the psychiatric community into some form of
action (or reaction).
34. MAD in America: Cons
While there is a vast array of material on the
site, the search feature makes it difficult to
access.
Searches for one topic are likely to bring up
papers on another, unrelated topic. Often the
topic that does appear is actually based on
the topic’s popularity, rather than its
relevance.
This reinforces a redundancy on the
homepage, that already emphasizes certain
articles and topics.
35. MAD in America: Cons
The
contact feature limits users’ ability to
communicate with a central site
administrator. All questions must be
directed to a particular author.
This limitation means that many functional
questions may remain either unanswered,
or perhaps even unasked.
36. MAD in America: Cons
There
is a lack of peer reviewed
information. Although the format of the
website is one of blogs, as it relies heavily
on professional expertise. It thus has the
potential to misrepresent disseminated
evidence as if I were supported by
evidence based research.
37. PsychRights & NAPRA
PsychRights does well in providing
information on the rights of people with
mental illness through their various articles
and videos. However, NAPRA has similar
information but goes the extra step by
providing information through conferences,
as well as providing allowing people to
volunteer and donate easily. Although
there is a lot of things PsychRights does well,
NAPRA simply does it better.
38. PsychRights & NAPRA
That being said, the information provided on
this site still assists in the MAD movement
through providing even more information on
this detailed subject to the general public. If
the con’s of this site were to be corrected,
the site could have the potential to help
thousands of people gain information on
mental illness, as well as give people with
mental illnesses more rights, and give children
a fighting chance to not be forced to take
potentially harmful psychoactive drugs.
39. NAPRA & MAD in America
Both MAD and NARPA are put together by former
patients or people that were involved in the
psychiatric system. Both of these movements and
organizations are about helping those that are in
the system now as well as those that have had to
experience the system. Both missions are about
helping those that are struggling through the
systems but each focusing on a different part of the
system, one being forced treatment the other being
about the abuse and stigmas people have to
endure. These two sites really come together on
their outlook on letting consumers make their own
decisions about treatment and medications instead
of being forced against their will.
40. MAD & PsychRights
Although the two sites are closely affiliated, their focuses are
different. While PsychRights primarily emphasizes the legal
options available to the mentally ill, MAD in America
functions as a resource for the community at large to
educate itself about alternatives to mainstream psychiatry.
Despite the obvious disparity in purpose, the two sites
operate under a simple singular shared premise. Both sites
are intended as a resource for the general public,
especially the disenfranchised and marginalized members
of society. In this capacity, both sites provide the general
public access to professionally administered information
and assistance. However, MAD in America, due in part to its
format, also allows for and encourages active community
involvement on top of the professional contributions.
41. Conclusion
Clearly the online MAD Movement is still in its infancy. There
are positive signs in terms of the number of websites that exist,
and the willingness of both professionals and the mentally ill
community to engage with these new platforms. However,
the way in which the sites are managed is endemic of a
group somewhat unfamiliar with the internet as a medium, as
well as one limited in its resources.
Despite these shortcomings, the increasing interest in the
topic, the continuous fundraising efforts, and the
accumulating experience of having a powerful internet
presence will allow this movement to transform itself into an
effective platform for the dissemination of information with
regards to alternatives for the mentally ill.
