CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
The National Association
for Rights Protection and Advocacy
2012 Annual Rights Conference
NARPA AT 30:
Celebrating Our Past, Creating Our Future
The National Association for Rights Protection and Advocacy (NARPA) is seeking proposals which address strategies, ideas, programs, and emerging practices that support and promote NARPA’s mission and commitment to individual rights, liberty, freedom and dignity.
NARPA‘s mission is to promote policies and pursue strategies that result in individuals with psychiatric diagnoses making their own choices regarding treatment. We educate and mentor those individuals to enable them to exercise their legal and human rights with a goal of abolition of all forced treatment.
NARPA is an independent organization, solely supported by its members. It is a unique mix of people who have experienced psychiatric intervention, advocates, civil rights activists, mental health workers, and lawyers — with many people whose roles overlap. 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.
If you are a journalist seeking mental health professionals or legal experts for news commentators on issues related to human rights violations affecting individuals with psychiatric diagnoses, please contact ISEPP’s Executive Director Dr. Al Galves:
