TMHCA Supports Human Rights

Definition

Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination.

TMHCA Commitment to Human Rights

TMHCA believes the basic tenet of mental health treatment includes the commitment to advocate
for human rights for all individuals. To ensure human rights, TMHCA is dedicated to addressing
systemic intolerance and social inequities.
