The Schizophrenia Drug-free Crisis Centre offers - as an alternative to psychiatric drugs and hospitals - holistic crisis help and support for sufferers and relatives, private consultations, home visits and re-educational information on schizophrenia as an acute psychospiritual crisis (that is, not as a mental illness, chemical imbalance, or brain disorder). The Centre encourages self-help, refers sufferers to drug-free practitioners, hosts public forums and helps sufferers seeking natural alternatives to withdraw from psychiatric drugs.
