Citizens Commission on Human Rights Working to Help Parents
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights of Nashville (CCHR Nashville) has been hard at work to spread information to parents on their basic rights so they can help their children.
- (1888PressRelease) March 10, 2017 - The Citizens Commission on Human Rights Nashville Chapter(CCHR Nashville) is working to educate parents on their basic rights as they relate to their children's mental health and well-being. To do this, volunteers have been to several recent events and informational fairs, to the State Capitol and working with parental groups to get out information in an even broader sphere.
CCHR has long been an advocate for human rights, especially as relates to patients' rights in the field of mental health. Per the international CCHR website, cchr.org, "CCHR has long fought to restore basic inalienable human rights to the field of mental health, including, but not limited to, full informed consent regarding the medical legitimacy of psychiatric diagnosis, the risks of psychiatric treatments, the right to all available medical alternatives and the right to refuse any treatment considered harmful."
Rev. Brian Fesler, who serves on the board of CCHR Nashville, said, "CCHR volunteers are getting the word out, but there is so much work to be done. People are getting hurt every day at the hands of psychiatrists."
CCHR is a non-profit, non-political, non-religious mental health watchdog. Its mission is to eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enact patient and consumer protections. CCHR receives reports about abuses in the field of mental health and is especially interested in situations where persons experienced abuse or damage due to a false diagnosis or unwanted and harmful psychiatric treatments, such as psychiatric drugs, electroshock (ECT) and electronic or magnetic brain stimulation (TMS). CCHR is often able to assist with filing complaints, and can work with a person's attorney to further investigate the case. To contact CCHR Nashville for more information, visit cchrnashville.org.
