WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! | We are looking for reports of people with lived experience being denied care for physical problems because of your mental health history!

Have you or someone you know ever experienced medical symptoms that were not taken seriously because the doctor knew about your psychiatric history? Were you denied care for a physical problem because staff told you “it was all in your head”? If so, please let MHLAC know so that we can learn more about the misuse of psychiatric records and advocate for consumer control of records.

Please email us at: ListenToMe@mhlac.org. Please give as full a description as possible of what happened. We keep identifying information confidential unless you specifically say that we may use it in our efforts. If you do not want MHLAC to know your name, you can mail your account to us at:

Attn: Listen to Me Mental Health Legal Advisors Committee 24 School Street, Suite 804, Boston, MA 02108; or fax from a public location to MHLAC at (617) 338-2347
