NHS Trusts / Other Bodies
The International Mental Health Collaborating Network (IMHCN) lists all UK NHS Trusts and other bodies who are founder partners (amongst other international bodies) of the IMHCN which are listed below. Here are some selected quotes from the aims of the IMHCN ...
"The good practice and experiences of the IMHCN came from deinstitutionalisation processes and practicalities, that is not only downsizing or even closing psychiatric hospitals, but undertaking a complex process of removing the ideology and power of the institution by putting the person first - with his/her subjectivity, needs, life story, significant relationships, social networks, social capital - above the institution." Source: - IMHCN Website --> About --> Introduction (emphasis added).
"No coercion
No constriction
No practices which violate the body
No confinement
No incarceration
No services that socially exclude or stigmatize
No denial of Citizenship and rights
No withdrawal from Community .
No rejection of everyone’s right to hope for and work towards Recovery"
