Send your stories to Ann Marshall at NARPA. Educate her about the coercion and human rights violations ocuring in the Industry. Might recommend Pinto or Szalavitz as a potential presenter.~~
From NARPA
As many of you are aware, for many years the National Association for Rights Protection and Advocacy (NARPA) has been a diligent "advocate for children and their rights." I am the administrator for NARPA and we are having our 2007 Rights Conference in Los Angeles in November.
We are dedicating a day in our program to children's issues and I thought you might be interested in seeing some of our presenters and a little about our program. I am attaching a registration brochure. We are also providing Continuing Legal Education units again, and have added Social Work CEUs. If you have any questions, please e-mail me; if you wish to contact any of our members or our Children's Committee with issues, please let me know. You may also see information about NARPA and its positions and issues on our web site at www.narpa.org (http://www.narpa.org).
Thank you, Ann Marshall, NARPA Administrator

Every day, behind closed doors, human rights violations are occurring on a regular basis - and Americans don't know about it. America's mental health system is still the shame of the nation. NARPA, the National Association for Rights Protection and Advocacy, works to expose abuse and to shed light on coercive and dangerous practices. NARPA is an independent organization, solely supported by its members. It is a unique mix of people who've survived psychiatric intervention, advocates, civil rights activists, mental health workers, and lawyers. NARPA exists to protect people’s right to choice and to be free from coercion, and to promote alternatives so that the right to choice can be meaningful. Read about NARPA's history of human rights advocacy, check out the ADA Case of the Week archives, and more.
NARPA is dedicated to promoting those policies and pursuing those strategies that represent the preferred options of people who have been labeled mentally disabled. NARPA is committed to advocating the abolishing of all forced treatment laws. NARPA believes the recipients of mental health services are capable of and entitled to make their own choices, and they are, above all, equal citizens under the law. To the extent that the recipients and former recipients may need assistance to support or express or achieving their preferences, NARPA is committed to promoting rights protection and advocacy which focuses upon both the right to choose and the specific choices of those who request assistance. Therefore, NARPA's fundamental mission is to help empower people who have been labeled mentally disabled so that they may learn to independently exercise their rights.
