  Mad Chicks is a new movement, which focuses on issues specific to women mental health service users, using creativity to achieve our aims and attract attention to our causes. We have developed from within Mad Pride, an international user-led movement which challenges discrimination and misinformation in relation to mental health and celebrates mad culture.

Mad Chicks was formed as a response to the number of women coming to Mad Pride meetings, who had hitherto been in a kind of vacuum, with little contact to others and no opportunity for debate, while struggling with mixed wards, childcare, assertiveness, rights, abuse and sexism in the NHS.

We believe the female service user voice has been overlooked as a positive force. Our aim is to create for ourselves a supportive environment, where women can find a voice and identify commonalties and priorities.

Mad Chicks was launched in 2004 with an afternoon and evening of creativity, discussion and events exploring, raging about and improving women's mental health. Click HERE for more info on the day.

Our next event is LOSING IT @ Corsica Studios, from 7 - 12pm

Move away Prozac. Watch the great mad women of art, poetry and rock & roll give you a serotonin orgasm with a wild night of music, poetry, comedy and film at Corsica Studios.

Building on the success of the previous two years, Losing It celebrates and psychological diversity and encourages self-empowerment for mad women, who belong to one of the most marginalised groups in our society

Come Along! CLICK HERE for more details
