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.
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
