Re: please help, silenced for speaking out need support
Thanks I know Robert whitaker, I'll check out the other Author you recommended always looking to learn more.
This forum should be a safe place to talk about it
And I will keep fighting until either it is or it gets defunded and de-commissioned
The internet can be a dangerous place and being able to talk in a moderated forum
certainly has its advantages
but that moderation should be in favour of vulnerable people discussing issues
not being misused to create a culture of fear, abuse and exploitation in where people are afraid
to talk about alternative models they found helpful
violent abuse (or other abuse) they suffered when trying to seek help
and/or the reality of corruption they are trying to understand and combat to make sense of
the world they live in
it is an old world that demotes people with disabilities to the fringes and takes away their rights
as human beings, where services take advantage of rather than support them.
The royal commission is about beginning a period of getting rid of Violence, Abuse and Exploitation in all places and all settings
that very much includes an internet forum provided by a respected registered charity that is partly funded by the Australian Government to provide peer support and information.
I know that government increasingly care about and are aware of these issues and wish to change them, it benefits all of their objectives both social and economic for abuse to end and change to occur.
It is not in the public's favour for services to benefit boutique industries such as 'biomedical psychiatry' at the cost of the health and wellbeing of the wider public.
Especially not when increasingly many people are interested in providing new and better services and awareness of 'gatekeeping' providing barriers to social inclusion, genuine support and healing, work, education etc is growing and is increasingly watched with interest.
Similarly for violence, abuse & exploitation in all its forms.
this is a submission by Women with Disabilities if you are interested, they are one of the many organisations that pushed for the royal comission. It's basically led by one woman, with very few staff and of course the volunteer members. She's incredible - her background is in her lived experience of Psychosocial disability and she is well aware of the endemic abuse, that's been a big part of the drive towards the royal commission for the past 22 years.
