CLEARWATER, Fla. - Txylo -- CCHR, an award-winning watchdog organization dedicated to the reformation of the mental health industry, hosts seminars on a regular basis in their Center located in downtown Clearwater. These seminars vary by topic and are open to the general public.

The mental health law, commonly referred to as the Baker Act in Florida, covers the use of involuntary examination and commitment. At the peak, this form of coercive psychiatry was used against Floridians over 214,000 times in 2018/2019.

The controversial use of involuntary mental health "treatment" has come under fire in recent years with international organizations calling for an end to coercive psychiatry.

While there are restrictions on the use of the Baker Act involving minors and parents must be called before it is invoked on a child for the purpose of giving them the opportunity to help as is their right, this human rights abuse still exists with 31,661 Baker Acts involving children in 2023/2024.

It is vital for those entrusted with the power to initiate an involuntary psychiatric examination to understand the intentions behind the law and possible consequences when this law is used.
