Here in my state it is an absolutely ridiculous dis-service instead of what is advertised. I am diabetic on 2- different insulin types and have been in the emergency room at the hospital numerous times as a result. For over a year now, I have been a client at the local V.R. office only to watch all the so-called ''workers'' idly collect a paycheck, while no actual services have been provided to assist me. The agency should be Completely De-Funded since what they advertise, and actual reality do not in Any way resemble one another.

Voc rehab does not provide job coaches. More like Joke rehab.

I'm a disabled political activist and communications chair for a County Democratic executive committee here in Florida. I found this conversation incredibly useful and productive both as someone who works a lot in politics and is disabled. I will be sharing this video far and wide with colleagues elected officials and candidates moving forward. Thank you for hosting it

"Nothing without us, period." 🔥🔥🔥

My mom is trying to frorce me to go and she keeps giving me a wrote out script she memorised its really creeping me out

the links in the description are not live FYI

I really like what you provide Though I'm from Algeria

Do you have an email? I would love to connect with you, especially since I just left Tallahassee Florida

100% disabled. Our biggest struggle here is having human rights. The best term I can think of is completely disinfranchised or exploited. There's no legal recourse for the poor when faced with many violations of human/constitutional rights. Let me know if anyone would communicate. We do advocate here. Whole body gestational donation is something that is being thrown around in the media after a research paper was done concerning it. In case there are others who care about women's rights too...

Very interesting interview.

🙈🙈 boring now

Thank you on the behalf of the special needs society

Every person with disability are God's angels sent for some of us to learn from. I have a son with Asperger's . But what an amazing intelligent sixteen-year-old God sent to me.. I thank God everyday for sending me an angel. God bless each n everyone who has a disability. This day n age people can really crash n hurt people feelings by making fun of n laughing at. The children in schools now days can be very hateful n damaging to someone who isn't like them. I have seen it, heard it, and cried myself to sleep thinking about how much it hurts the person with disability's. breaks my heart. Adults too!! Shame on them!

I know someone who said she asked for but never received a copy of the law every day she was there, from the time she signed a paper saying she had a right to see it.

Very informative, thank you!

Lots of great info and resources! Thanks, Felicia!

The statistics on shelter workshops were enlightening and disturbing! The income earned by the shelter workshop itself, as well as the salary of the management/CEOs is absolutely ridiculous! Thank you for a great, informative presentation!

Great information! Thank you!

It taught me never to talk about my feelings or past. I didn't get any of those rights and the people who lied to detain me have zero accountability

Sometimes it's not as complicated as this portrays. I have PTSD/hyper vigilance from my time in the military. One day I went to HR and told them it bothered me that I couldnt see who was coming in and out of the front door (open floor plan with 4ft cube walls). I was sitting in a spot where my back was facing the door and it gave me what I considered unnecessary anxiety. So I asked for a different cube that was open where I could see over the cube wall and I feel a lot better now. If it costs them nothing and it's not unreasonable, dont over complicate it. Use common sense.

Thanks for all the information. It is very helpful..

Washington state here. My son was restrained and isolated daily. Has a diagnosis of PTSD from school. Cps does not have jurisdiction in schools. If your child has a mark, make a police report. I had to do this for every single year my son attended school. 5 yrs of this.

Its not good to label kids

Most facilities fail/REFUSE to inform the detainees of their rights! And obviously you can’t have your phone to find a video like this. Once you’re out, it’s too late.

@disability rights Florida. A.P.D. is really not Supporting us we did everything. They said our son ASD ODD and now PTSD and other therapies he has now PT ot st. I worked with them on a major grant and when I saw the C.V. on the lead psychologist I see a Job Description! I'm upset about this. Our ASD kids youths and adults are falling through the cracks

I have long suspected modern psychiatry was a fraud and now the alleged number of "incurable people" is so fucking high any rational being ought to safely conclude that as well. Read Thomas Szasz the Myth of Mental illness anything else he wrote if you want a better grasp ,what these fucking hacks in the mental health industry are about.

lm disabled but I'm 62 years old interested in studio art painting school

I have created a group called Victims of Baker act on Facebook, we must join together and fight this atrocity!

New Beginnings is horrible Grace Point is nit as bad but none of the hospitals are good

“To be admitted to a Baker Act receiving facility, it must be believed that you have a mental illness and are a danger to yourself or others.” What? Someone must believe something? That is no protection at all. And the right to appoint a representative adds hardly any protection. “. . . right to be treated with respect, to be free of neglect or abuse, to have appropriate clothing, “ Who is to say when these generalities have been violated, and what recourse does one have if they are? “unless restricted by a doctor’s . . . orders” This is denial of due process. “fresh air breaks unless restricted due to medical or security reasons.” This is denial of a basic human survival need, and by no stretch of the imagination can fresh air create a security risk. “To help develop treatment and discharge plans.” That meaningless generality grants no rights whatsoever. And this comment does not even cover the first 20% of this video.

This is for Florida Students that once your free from your Hospital then you'll be sent to an EBD Center School "Not the school you got suspended or expelled from" and they will make sure that your life is more miserable then a normal school could of done.

I think I see a lawsuit with Hillsborough county coming on

I was threatened with commitment to a psychiatric facility if I did not retract my writ of habeus corpus and no medical test was ever given.

Does one have a right to a medical test (brain scan) before having to take psychiatric drugs?

Well done!

INVOLUNTARY COMMITMENT An unconstitutional and horrifyingly abused legal process by which-- in the absence of any destructive activity, and on nothing more than the word of a single lie people are stripped of civil/human rights and imprisoned in a psychiatric facility, with no form of recourse whatsoever, in most states for a period of up to 72 hours. A terrifying and destructive ordeal whose only positive effect is to inspire activism against the fraud of psychiatry.

Very helpful !!
