.@RepHaleyStevens @SenStabenow @SenGaryPeters, the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is helping millions of Americans connect to the internet. Congress must act quickly to keep this critical program funded so it doesn’t go away.

The War on Suicide Is Making Things Worse
by Crystal Nelson

While allegedly intended to help, institutionalizing people against their will does more harm than good. Psychiatric coercion is dehumanizing.

Psychiatry’s Control-Freak Medical Model Versus Healing and Healers
by Bruce Levine, PhD

Following psychiatry’s failures, a sane society would not give it increased status and power. But our insane society worships technologies of control.

Please tell all journalists u know: Stop saying "People who are unable to see their need for treatment." It's biased, prejudicial & dehumanizing. Instead: "People who, for a variety of reasons, refuse treatments that are often unhelpful and can be very harmful."

[Christopher Lane Author @christophlane]

The number of Americans and Canadians detained for psychiatric treatment is more than double that in Europe.

An exhaustive new study by @robwipond finds that forced treatment does not improve mental health.

Folks who utilize mental health care services: What you would rather have access to instead of more beds in psychiatric hospitals? What programs, approaches, or resources would you rather there be an investment in?

What the world needs more than sympathy and empathy is compassion.

Sympathy: I'm sorry you're in pain
Empathy: I feel your pain
Compassion: I'll do whatever I can to alleviate your pain

You don't have to feel other people's feelings. You just have to care about their feelings.
