Citizens Commission on Human Rights of
Nashville (CCHR Nashville) is holding a special breakfast meeting at the end of
January 2018.
The Nashville Chapter of Citizens Commission
on Human Rights (CCHR Nashville) is planning a special breakfast meeting in
late January to follow up on the holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr.
CCHR is known as 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.”
“CCHR is committed to helping people
learn their rights, especially as relates to freedom of conscience,” says CCHR
Nashville Board Member, Brian Fesler. CCHR Nashville regularly hosts events and
meetings with local leaders who give insight into patients’ rights, parents’
rights and more.
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
