You are invited to tune in on the web LIVE to hear 18-year-old  
Chrissy -- a psychiatric survivor activist -- describe her  
experiences with conventional mental health care, and what she feels  
would have been better. You can phone in live with your comments and  
questions!

    Introduction by Martin Rafferty, MFI Youth Outreach Coordinator:

As MindFreedom strides forward with its Youth Voices for Choices in  
Mental Health Campaign some local youth leaders are standing up to  
take leadership. Chrissy Peirsuol is just one of our youth who has  
stepped up and now she is choosing to share her story in the mental  
health system with you!

Chrissy is someone who hold her own opinion on medications. First  
hand experience has shown her that some of her friends of felt that  
psychiatric medications have helped. Yet she is discovering -- along  
with the rest of public -- that much of the time these medications do  
horrible wrong.

As a youth she herself was pressured and led by her support system to  
take these powerful drugs, drugs that took away her ability to stay  
in the sun longer then a few hours, drugs that changed her  
personality and her life forever.
