After all these years …
Does not acting on evidence of human rights abuse within the Mental Health system - make “boards” complicity in the crime ?
Recently - I read the website – Lake Alice + was moved to tears …
Does ignoring the data + therefore human rights abuse within the mental health system – mean the Integrated Care board + Health + well being board are complicity in criminal acts ?
We do keep telling these boards about the human rights abuse
Electro convulsive treatment - restraints - seclusion - serious incidents - forced medication - forced imprisonment on Mental Health wards - are human rights abuses
We do keep telling these boards about the medicalisation of distress
The world health organisation called for global radical change within the mental health system – two years ago …

We strive to be rights based – integrated – strength based – person centred in all our work

We plan to send this data to the “leaders” of the Integrated Care Boards – in the hope they will review + action
For example stopping Electro convulsive treatment now …
It is clear the current Mental Health system is racist – sexist – ageist – ableist
Why do the “powers that be” allow this abuse to continue ?

Power is seen as finite and zero-sum – you either have it or you don’t Use of authority to coerce, control and repress others seeking to claim power Power is negative and repressive and perpetuates inequity |
Power with others through collective action and coalition Mutual support, solidarity and collaboration |
The power of humans to be agents of change and to exercise their agency |
