What changes are taking place in Oregon’s mental health system?
Recently, Oregon lawmakers, in a misguided attempt to improve Oregon’s mental health system, made it easier to civilly commit individuals who are experiencing a mental health crisis. This will take us in the wrong direction back to a time when individuals were subjected to treatment in large, carceral institutions. This is our wake- up call. Reforms have never been more urgent, to protect human rights and prioritize consumer choice in all mental health care services.
