World Mental Health Day began in 1992
to raise public awareness of mental health issues, according to the World
Health Organization. Taking issue with psychiatric harm in the name of help,
the Nashville Church of Scientology will hold a seminar to provide parents and
educators with tools to protect children from abusive treatment.
This seminar, called “Protecting Your
Children’s Mental Health in a System Gone Wrong,” will take place October 8,
2015. The event will feature the Nashville Chapter of the Citizens Commission
on Human Rights and take place in the community hall of the Church of
Scientology.
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights
(CCHR) was co-founded in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and Professor of
Psychiatry Emeritus Dr. Thomas Szasz at a time when patients were being
warehoused in institutions and stripped of all constitutional, civil and human
rights, according to CCHR.org. It was established to bring dignity and human
rights back to the field of mental health.
According to a Scientology religious
code, Scientologists pledge “to expose and help abolish any and all physically
damaging practices in the field of mental health,” and thereby bring about an
atmosphere of safety and security to mental healing. Members work with CCHR to
help accomplish this goal.
CCHR Nashville announced the October 8
event with the message: “Hear from experts in law and healthcare who will help
you understand how to protect your children from abuses in the mental health
field.” CCHR is also encouraging friends and family of loved ones who have been
abused by mental health practitioners to attend and speak with CCHR
representatives.
The event takes place Oct 8th
at 1130 8th Avenue South in Nashville, Tennessee. For more information, visit
