United States

Two exhibits are currently touring the west and east coasts, and are being seen by thousands of individuals every week. The launch of the east coast tour began in a famous park called the Boston Common, in which the display was shown for two days to over 1,500 people. It was next featured at the New Hampshire State House of Representatives, where hundreds toured the display and received CCHR's materials on psychiatric abuse.

The traveling exhibit was also a part of the Florida Family Physicians Conference in Kissimmee, Florida. Many doctors toured the exhibit, expressing great interest in the subject matter, "This exhibit is extremely important, and it's about time that somebody stood up and faced the [psychiatric] system," said one physician. "Doctors could provide portions of the information shown on these panels as community education, and change the social policies that are false."

On the west coast, California Assemblyman Ray Haynes was the keynote speaker for the traveling exhibit grand opening on the steps of the Capitol Building in Sacramento, California. In his opening address, he stated, "I am happy to open CCHR's exhibit which proves that pouring more money into the mental health system that doesn't work is a waste of taxpayer dollars." In the span of two days over 500 people toured.

Traveling up the coast, the exhibit was displayed in the State Capitol in Olympia, Washington, and the Oregon Convention Center, where the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU), was holding a conference.
