2020 saw many changes to the
way nonprofit organizations operate, and Citizens Commission on Human
Rights, Nashville Chapter, was no different in that regard.
The
Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) Nashville Chapter began the year with
a special panel discussion on Safety During Worship held in honor of
International Holocaust Remembrance Day in January where chapter members and
the community confronted a serious topic: religious persecution, hate crimes
and safety.
Following this, with stay-at-home orders being issued across
the country in March, CCHR held events virtually for the remainder of the year.
This included a virtual message put out by the group for
World Mental Health Day to help remind people to seek help if they’ve been abused
by those practicing mental health, and on Veterans Day to salute veterans and
them, their friends and family to be vigilant about education on mental health
issues especially those affecting them.
A
Board Member of CCHR Nashville said, “CCHR volunteers know that there is much more
work to be done. People are getting hurt every day at the hands of
psychiatrists. They must be brought to account for their actions.” Those who
have experienced abuse are encouraged to visit cchrnashville.org and fill out
the “report abuse” form.
CCHR
is a non-profit, non-political, non-religious mental health industry watchdog
whose mission is to eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental
health. It works to ensure patient and consumer protections are enacted
and upheld as there is rampant abuse in the field of mental health. In
this role, CCHR has helped to enact more than 150 laws protecting individuals
from abusive or coercive mental health practices since it was formed five
decades ago. For more information on CCHR, visit cchrnashville.org.
