The Free Our People Now project aims to help autistic people and people with learning difficulties, with lived experience of the psychiatric system, to have a voice and advocate for urgent change so Autistic people and people with learning difficulties can live in their own homes rather than in hospitals.
“It is no longer acceptable for Disabled people to be detained by the State on the grounds of disability and risk to oneself and others. The Mental Health Bill proposals must focus on investing and promoting Disabled people’s emotional wellbeing rather than waiting until there is education, health, social care and housing system failure that leads to life-long hospitalization.”
