[THP/FANet] Are you getting news about mental health & human rights?

[MindFreedom International]

Hi,

I was wondering if you've heard some of the news lately that we at  
the MindFreedom office have been getting out by e-mail and web.

If so, great! If not, you can get our free, occasional human rights  
alerts and news by e-mail:

Have you heard....

*** MindFreedom and PsychRights helped start a new New Task Force on  
Mental Health Legal Advocacy & Activism to win battles against forced  
psychiatric drugging in both the court of law and the court of public  
opinion in the USA.

*** An innovative psychosocial alternative for young homeless people  
in Denmark may be closed. Our alert led to a dialogue with the Mayor.

*** One of our members experienced tragedy after his years of forced  
psychiatric drugging in a USA prison, and our demand for an  
investigation was covered by the media.

*** MFI members are exposing cover-ups of the use of involuntary  
electroshock in the USA -- that is forced electroshock against the  
expressed wishes of the subject. (Yes, that still happens.)

*** And, for fun, "the real" Patch Adams is now chair  of our effort  
to celebrate humanity's "creative maladjustment." Mad Pride  
activities are happening in a variety of countries!
