WHAT IS THE

MAD LIBERATION MOVEMENT

The Mad Liberation Movement is a global movement dedicated to redefining societal understanding and treatment of madness through a mad-forward, love-centric approach guided by “Neo-Mad Love”, a concept introduced and developed by Dr. Sarah Jane.

Founded on principles of empathy, inclusivity, and justice, we challenge oppressive structures and advocate for collective healing, education, and community building.

Our transformative framework, known as “neo-mad love” discourse, integrates critical compassion with bio-physiological and affective dimensions of madness. This innovative approach seeks to dismantle stigma and foster a deeper, more compassionate understanding of the expanse of madness and mad experiences.

Join us in our journey towards a world where love, understanding, and justice guide our approach to mental health and where every individual is seen and valued for their unique contributions to our shared humanity.

LOVE CENTERED MOVEMENT

Love is an emotion and a force that transforms the body on a cellular level. Its vibratory frequency flows through the body, allowing us to connect with others more profoundly.

At the Mad Liberation Collective (part of the Mad Liberation Movement), we believe love is a powerful force transforming us deeply. It impacts our bodies and minds, enhancing our connections with others.

We see love as vital energy influencing our genes and well-being. Our framework highlights the importance of love in addressing mental health with respect and compassion. Recognizing love's transformative power, we create supportive spaces where everyone is valued.

Love fosters deep connections, which is crucial for supporting mental health. By centering love in our community, we explore mental health without judgment, ensuring everyone is seen and understood.

Through this loving approach, we build a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world, creating a thriving community for all.

our ‘why’

By centering love in our approach, we strive to create compassionate, inclusive spaces where everyone is valued, understood, and supported. Our commitment is to enhance the collective understanding of mental health, ensuring that love and acceptance are at the core of our healing journey.

A 'one-size-fits-all' approach is no longer sustainable, nor successful in health and healing. We offer an equitable approach to allow all people to access effective, compassionate, anti-colonial mad therapeutic methods.
