The National Coalition for Mental Health Recovery needs your help to develop guidelines and spread the word about what we’ve learned about seclusion and restraint practices in the United States. 

In this webinar, c/s/x activist and scholar Patricia Godsey will walk you through her work to advance two NCMHR legislative priorities over the past year regarding restraint and seclusion practices in the United States. Patricia will share the findings of her recent survey, which gathered stories from individuals who have been subjected to seclusion and restraint as well as from the staff who have been tasked with carrying out these practices. The pleas and themes that emerged from the survey will be highlighted, and Patricia will request assistance from the group to create a map of the steps that must be taken to substantially reduce -- and eventually eliminate -- the practice of seclusion and restraint in the United States.
