FAQ: CCHR Traveling Exhibit on Human Rights in Mental Health
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) hosted a traveling exhibit during Independence Day weekend to educate the public about protecting human rights in mental health, highlighting issues such as involuntary commitment and informed consent.
The exhibit aims to educate the public about safeguarding personal rights in mental health, focusing on principles of individual liberty, informed consent, and protection of fundamental human rights in healthcare.
The exhibit was held during Independence Day weekend in Old Sacramento, California.
It raises awareness about controversial psychiatric practices, involuntary commitment, and the importance of informed consent, especially given statistics showing that involuntary psychiatric detentions are increasing faster than population growth.
Keynote speakers included Eric Eisenhammer, CEO of Dauntless Communications, and Stacy Anderson, Executive Board Member of the National African American Civil Rights Organization.
CCHR reported that an individual is involuntarily committed every 30 seconds worldwide, and in the U.S., involuntary detentions have increased at a rate three times faster than population growth.
She emphasized informed consent and the right to receive complete information before making decisions about mental health treatment, and she shared a vision for mental health justice.
