This conference brings together worldwide experts on psychiatric drug withdrawal from lived experience, research, psychotherapy and medicine.

 

This is the first large-scale annual conference hosted by the International Institute for Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal. It brings together experts from across the world to discuss the practical details of withdrawal, alternatives to medication, and how to change the narratives surrounding psychiatric drugs.

 

 

Anyone with a personal or professional interest is welcome at this conference, including those who are on or coming off psychiatric drugs, friends and family members, psychological therapists and other professional supporters, clinicians and prescribers. Although the conference talks will cover topics like research and clinical practice, all the talks will be accessible to a general audience.

 

At the end of the conference, there will be an opportunity for those who wish to connect with a small group of other attendees in a Zoom-based conversation. We support connections and conversations across these diverse groups.
