Given yesterday’s briefing on efforts taken by the state to address loneliness, isolation and social disconnection, we at CLRP have an idea about making it easier for people in inpatient psychiatric facilities to connect with others!

[Kathy Flaherty @ConnConnection]

@CTLegalRights The other item on CLRP’s legislative agenda is to update the Patients’ Bill of Rights for inpatient psychiatric facilities so that people can have access to their own devices.

@CTLegalRights …through mail and a community use telephone? THE SOLUTION: Connecticut law should be changed so that people can have access to their personal cell phone and access to a computer and internet while they are in an inpatient psychiatric facility.

Mental health laws are broader & more powerful than most people realize--until they get targeted. I'm giving away some copies of my book about people's experiences of involuntary commitment & the laws, science, economics & politics of psychiatric power. https://t.co/NuAFQ1yzJH

@ACLUNJ and 45+ groups urge @GovMurphy to veto a bill that extends involuntary commitment periods in hospitals instead of addressing underlying systemic problems.

NJ needs a comprehensive, patient focused mental health care system rather than tools to strip liberty from people.
