Inspired by The Icarus Project, MindFreedom, and other human/civil rights & alternative health groups, The Wildflowers' Mov't envisions a new culture and language by seeing ourselves in a new light. Self-acceptance is the key to recognizing who we truly are. Self-awareness and self-consciousness are to be cultivated daily in order to maintain our self-acceptance.

This group is for people to come together, embrace mental diversity and learn from each others’ different views and experiences. Rather than seeing ourselves with a ”disorder” needing to be “cured” or “overcome”, we accept ourselves as WE ARE. It is this idea that resonates with our actual experiences rather than trying to fit our lives into a conventional framework.

The Wildflowers’ Movement also hopes to advocate mental health rights for all people who have been and are being affected daily by the outdated mental health care system which does not provide them with the alternatives necessary to seek therapeutic recovery. 

You are welcome here for whichever reason you feel you should be, whether you take drugs or not, whether you define yourself with a “disorder” or not. No matter how alienated you are by the world around you, no matter how out of step or depressed, and disconnected you might feel, you are not alone.  We believe that a true community which embraces diversity is the solution.
