@goslee_aaron Clinicians shouldn’t be giving legal advice.

[Rob Wipond @robwipond]

The American Bar Association this month passed a resolution calling on governments to STOP broadening involuntary commitment laws. (These are people who actually see what's happening behind the closed doors of commitment courts...) https://t.co/UVRxN4hjn2

[Rob Wipond @robwipond]

Great to see a psychiatrist truly supporting patients' well-being & rights. Powerful article by @RupiLeghaMD promoting "full informed consent” about "often-unstated" risks & harms of getting someone coerced into dangerous mental health care systems.

@RSGAT Congrats!

[Kathy Flaherty @ConnConnection]

@solitairecash It’s a yes from me

[Rob Wipond @robwipond]

Law Society protests new BC bill giving sweeping powers to forcibly treat lawyers who have mental health diagnoses regardless of their actual legal competency. (Beware what happens when you support forced psychiatric care--it's coming for you, too.)
