2022 Year in Review – Citizens Commission on Human Rights, Nashville Chapter

 The Citizens Commission on Human Rights was able to continue helping people fighting abuses in the field of mental health during 2022.

 

 

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) Nashville Chapter held events virtually and in person during 2022 promoting awareness of abuses in the field of mental health.

 

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.

 

At the beginning of the year, CCHR held a discussion on antisemitism, bringing in a special guest with the Jewish community on the topic “Holocaust Remembrance: Why Here? Why Now?”  

 

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. For more information, go to cchrnashville.org.
