Citizens' Commission on Human Rights

The Citizens' Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1969 that aims to investigate and expose abuses within mental health practices. It advocates for the rights of individuals receiving mental health treatment, promoting transparency, ethical standards, and informed consent. CCHR often critiques psychiatric diagnoses and treatments, raising awareness about potential misconduct and promoting mental health reform. While it operates independently, its work is driven by a focus on protecting human rights and ensuring ethical standards in mental health care.
