@LawScribes @clasbc We demand audits be conducted by the Federal government to assess who are being detained and treated against their will under Mental Health Law, & who are being denied treatment & why. Just watch us.

[MentalHealthAdvocate @MentalHealthCAN]

@gwomand @bccla @JohnHoward_Can Coming soon. Watch us expose unlawful unwarranted mental health detentions of capable citizens who are not a threat to self or others. Denying capable citizens their Charter call 2 lawyer is an egregious breach of law.

We started up Pacific South Western Advocates (PSWA Canada) in 2001 to expose the BC FLAWED Mental Health Act. Not all citizens detained & treated are mentally ill. Audits are needed to prevent unlawful/unwarranted treatment and cherry picking of proposed patients. https://t.co/5kiwpGPY3P
