Is it for me?

Membership is open to anyone who is:

You might have a diagnosis of a mental health condition. You might reject a diagnosis of a mental health condition. You might not be able to access a diagnosis of a mental health condition.

You might take psychiatric medication. You might reject psychiatric medication. You might not be able to access psychiatric medication.

You might consider yourself to be Mad. You might reject this label. You might not know what you think.

What matters is who you are and what you’ve experienced.

Privacy and confidentiality

While we long for a world that doesn’t stigmatise our experiences and discriminate against us, we have to survive in a world that does.  

Because of this, we’ll treat any information you share with us with the highest level of care. We will never share your data with anyone else or use it for any purposes other than running Antinormality Club. You can find out more in our data protection policy.

Meetings are open only to people who have experienced mental ill-health, distress and trauma. Meetings are held on the basis of complete confidentiality - club members are not permitted to share any details of who attended or what was said. If we have something to say to the world, we’ll decide that together.

Your story is yours alone - you will always have control over what you share and when:

  • You are invited to be open about your experiences, but you will not be expected or pressured to do so

  • Anything you share in Antinormality Club meetings will be strictly confidential

  • If we raise our voice publicly, we will do so collectively, always with the option of anonymity.
