The Citizens Commission on Human Rights
of Nashville (CCHR Nashville) will hold a workshop at the end of January about
overcoming past trauma.
The Nashville Chapter of Citizens
Commission on Human Rights (CCHR Nashville) will have a special workshop in
late January to confront a serious topic: overcoming past trauma.
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.”
During this workshop, attendees will
hear from experts on the best ways to deal with past trauma, and how to overcome
this through natural health tips and exercises.
“CCHR is committed to helping people
learn their rights, and this includes ways to handle trauma without mind
altering drugs,” says CCHR Volunteer, Julie Brinker.
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
Nashville for more information, visit cchrnashville.org.
