QUALITY SERVICES AND SUPPORT IN THE COMMUNITY CAN ENABLE THEM TO PARTICIPATE EQUALLY WITH OTHERS AND RESIDENTS OF NEIGHBORHOODS AND MEMBERS OF FAMILIES, TO CONTRIBUTE AS PART OF THE WORKFORCE AND TO ENJOY THE SOCIAL, RECREATIONAL, POLITICAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND CULTURAL BENEFITS OF COMMUNITY LIFE. SERVICES IN STABLE FAMILY OR FAMILY-LIKE SETTINGS ALLOW CHILDREN WITH MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS TO REALIZE THEIR POTENTIAL. 977288 50265 HOLDING PUBLIC SYSTEMS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE - PEOPLE WITH MENTAL DISABILITIES SHOULD NOT BE SEPARATED FROM FAMILIES, FRIENDS, AND COMMUNITIES, NOR SHOULD THEY BE CONSIGNED TO CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES OR OTHER INSTITUTIONAL SETTINGS BECAUSE THE MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM HAS FAILED TO HELP THEM. CHILDREN MUST NOT BE DEPRIVED OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES AS PUNISHMENT FOR BEHAVIOR ASSOCIATED WITH MENTAL OR EMOTIONAL DISABILITY, AND FAMILIES SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RELINQUISH CUSTODY OF CHILDREN WITH EMOTIONAL DISORDERS IN ORDER TO ACCESS NEEDED TREATMENT. WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE WITH MENTAL DISABILITIES SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR THE SYSTEM'S FAILURES TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE RESOURCES THEY NEED FOR STABLE LIVES AND MEANINGFUL PARTICIPATION IN THE COMMUNITY. 633158 32585 IMPLEMENTING A NEW VISION OF HOPE, DIGNITY, AND HUMAN RIGHTS - WE BEGIN WITH THE PREMISE THAT MENTAL HEALTH POLICY MUST EMPOWER PEOPLE AND ENSURE PROTECTION OF THEIR LEGAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS. THE PUBLIC SYSTEMS THAT ARE CHARGED WITH SERVING PEOPLE WITH MENTAL DISABILITIES MUST BE TRANSFORMED AND BECOME RECOVERY ORIENTED. CONSUMERS SHOULD PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN SHAPING THESE SYSTEMS. 14830 13128 PROMOTING SELF-DETERMINATION - PEOPLE WITH MENTAL DISABILITIES MUST BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THEIR CHOICES IN ALL ASPECTS OF DAILY LIFE. THIS INVOLVES ACCESS TO VOTING AND OTHER FORMS OF CIVIC PARTICIPATION, AND AN END TO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THEM IN HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT. IT ALSO MEANS THAT INDIVIDUALS SHOULD HAVE A VOICE IN THEIR TREATMENT DECISIONS AND CONTROL OVER WHO HAS ACCESS TO THEIR TREATMENT RECORDS.DIRECT LOBBYING - ADVOCATING FOR THE BAZELON CENTER'S PROGRAM OBJECTIVES THROUGH FEDERAL POLICY AND STRATEGIC POLICY DEVELOPMENT.
