CCHR Empowers Floridians with Mental Health Rights Education

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a nonprofit organization dedicated to mental health human rights and government relations, has significantly impacted Florida through its extensive educational events. With over 1,000 seminars, workshops, and events, CCHR has enlightened Floridians on mental health laws, including the Baker Act, and the importance of recognizing physical ailments that mimic mental health conditions. The organization's efforts are bolstered by professionals like attorney Carmen Miller and Dr. Jared Roscoe, who share insights on legal rights, the dangers of psychiatric drugs, and natural treatment alternatives. Particularly noteworthy is the focus on the risks of drugging children, highlighting the need for awareness and alternative approaches to mental health care.

Founded in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and Dr. Thomas Szasz, CCHR's mission to combat mental health abuses continues to resonate. Their work, including the hosting of complimentary educational events in Clearwater, Florida, underscores the importance of informed consent and the protection of individual rights in mental health treatment. For those interested in learning more, CCHR encourages visits to their center or calls to their office, offering a beacon of hope and education in the complex landscape of mental health care.
