Schizophrenics Anonymous Guiding Principles

  1. The only requirement for SA membership is the desire to recover from a schizophrenia related illness.
  2. There are no dues for SA membership, although donations may be accepted to cover SA group expenses or special events.
  3. Everything said at SA meetings is confidential.
  4. SA members should remain anonymous, except those who wish to work on special issues; SA members and leaders should place principles before personalities in all matters relating to our program.
  5. Each group may establish its own meeting format, subject to approval by central SA leadership.
  6. Decisions affecting SA as a whole are derived from the group consciousness of its own members; we rely on our Higher Power to work through this process.
