Our message is :- You don't have to be a psychiatrist or psychologist to realise that providing an already badly traumatised person with a safe, supportive, kind and understanding environment has to have a better long term outcome than physical restraint, violence, and involuntary drugging.


But therein lies the problem, doesn't it? So many glaring truths that it doesn't take a psychiatrist or psychologist to see, yet nobody is willing to contradict what the bona-fide "experts" say about such matters.

As you say, it's a long fight, against very well-established norms. I know it doesn't do any good to say so, but I wish there was some light of hope that change would come soon enough to save me. But I guess it's already too late for that.
