Vanaheim Group | inspiring real choiceVanaheim Group is committed to offering and inspiring alternatives to the mental illness sector. Our philosophy is one of autonomy and freedom. We consider that the medical labeling of problems in living is disempowering and scientifically invalid; involuntary or poorly informed psychiatric treatment conflicts with human rights. Vanaheim Group believes every human being should be offered freedom of opinion and choice and the freedom to take responsibility for one's own actions and beliefs. |
