In a public statement, the Party wrote,The Green Party of California hereby endorses the call to abolish all involuntary psychiatric and psychological interventions, including forced hospitalizations, forced drugging, and related coercive practices. Recent developments like California’s Proposition 1, which provides no alternatives to forced treatment while deceptively promising housing solutions, demonstrate the urgent need for this advocacy. The Abolish Forced Psychiatry statement is a sign-on effort to gather endorsements for an end to forced psychiatric treatment world-wide. A recent forced treatment study brings home the point made widely in the research literature for years—forcing people into psychiatric treatment doesn’t work, and does harm instead. The Green Party of California endorsement is especially significant because it represents a cross-issue connection and broadening the base of awareness around forced treatment and abolition.
