We at RECOVERY Assistance Dogs for Mental Health have submitted our recommendations for Mental Health Human Rights. We want the Government to know that 'Freedom is more important than health; as lack of freedom means losing the will to live."

Mental Health demands a ‘Convention on the Rights of Survivors of Mental Health problems’ (CRSMH). This would look towards a law to protect the Human Rights of those people labelled with a Mental Health diagnosis. This law would include the recommendations listed above and make sure that no one should:

- Lose their capacity

- Be locked up against their will (or be prevented from being a voluntary patient)

- Be forced onto drugs (or not allowed to take drugs, complementary alternative remedies or therapies)

without a proper Court Case where family, friends, solicitors, Mental Health Professionals, the Service User can make recommendations to make sure that the everyone can see and get the best outcomes for an individual.
