Lake Alice Psychiatric Hospital Press Releases

A prestigious award recognized five decades of relentless advocacy for justice and reform fought by CCHR and survivors of electroshock torture at a psychiatric hospital.

CCHR, a mental health industry watchdog, says a New Zealand Inquiry finding of 200,000 children and vulnerable adults tortured in psychiatric and behavioral institutions mirror similar abuses uncovered in the U.S.

CCHR joins survivors of electroshock torture in NZ in condemning a very late apology issued by a psychiatric association, spanning half a century of neglecting the abuse endured. The group wants justice for victims of analogous abuse in the U.S.
