Center for the Human Rights of Users and Survivors of Psychiatry

The Center for the Human Rights of Users and Survivors of Psychiatry advocates for the rights and dignity of people who have experienced mental health treatment, especially in psychiatric settings. It works to ensure that their voices are heard, their human rights are respected, and they receive respectful, fair care. The Center also promotes policies that reduce coercion and improve mental health services, emphasizing a recovery-oriented and rights-based approach. Its goal is to create a mental health system that values individual autonomy, reduces stigma, and protects the dignity of all individuals seeking or receiving mental health support.
