The Citizens Commission on Human Rights of Florida (CCHR) and Boomtown Community Partners (BCP) are presenting a comprehensive exhibit documenting the history of psychiatric human rights abuses, featuring a documentary with over 160 expert and victim testimonies.
The free exhibit, titled ‘Psychiatry: An Industry of Death Exhibit,’ will be hosted in Kissimmee from March 20-23rd, highlighting systemic issues within mental health treatment. A special presentation on March 23rd will introduce a new partnership between CCHR and BCP, with Coach Isaac Vasquez serving as guest speaker.
The exhibit aims to educate the public about psychiatric practices that have historically disregarded human rights, including forced commitments and controversial treatments like electroshock therapy administered to children and seniors. Educational panels and photographic evidence will provide visitors with a critical historical perspective on psychiatric interventions.
Diane Stein, President of CCHR Florida, emphasized the significance of their new partnership with BCP, particularly in raising awareness about mental health human rights abuses affecting children. The Florida chapter of CCHR, which has received 11 awards for protecting parental rights in mental health decisions, continues its mission to reform psychiatric practices.
The documentary featured in the exhibit includes interviews with health professionals, doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, academics, legal experts, and survivors, providing firsthand accounts of psychiatric brutality. By documenting the origins of psychiatry and its potential for social control, the exhibit challenges viewers to critically examine mental health treatment methodologies.
This collaborative effort between CCHR and BCP represents a significant step in promoting transparency and accountability within the mental health industry, with a particular focus on protecting the rights of vulnerable populations.
