Safe Harbor
The Voice of Alternative Mental Health – Changing Lives Every Day…
Our Mission
Safe Harbor was founded in 1998 in response to growing public concern over the unwanted side effects of orthodox mental health treatments such as medication and shock therapy.
Seeking to meet the need for safer solutions to mental health problems, Safe Harbor is dedicated to educating the public, the medical profession, and government agencies on effective alternative treatments for severe mental symptoms.
We seek to improve current mental health practice by determining the underlying physical causes of many mental conditions, and by reducing reliance on the use of medication to suppress mental symptoms.
Studies have repeatedly shown that physical ailments such as thyroid problems, blood sugar disorders, nutritional imbalances, and allergies commonly cause mental symptoms that are misdiagnosed as psychiatric disorders.
In addition, there are many nutritional, herbal, and commonsense remedies that can ease symptoms without causing undesirable, drug-related side effects.
We seek to raise awareness of these issues, and to disseminate vital information about alternative approaches to mental health, by providing a wide range of programs, services, and resources to medical professionals and the public.
We are the world's leading voice for alternative mental health treatments.
