Church of Scientology International's Scientology Network Marks World Mental Health Day with CCHR Documentary Marathon

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On World Mental Health Day, October 10, Scientology Network presents a marathon event spotlighting the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR). The program features CCHR's mission to expose psychiatric industry corruption and combat human rights abuses.

This focus comes at a critical moment, as concerns over the potential links between psychiatric drugs, suicide, aggression and violence have thrust the issue of psychiatric drugging into the public eye.

Founded in 1969, CCHR is a nonprofit mental health watchdog responsible for helping to enact nearly 400 laws protecting individuals from abusive or coercive practices.

The World Mental Health Day Marathon will feature:

• CCHR documentaries—an ongoing investigative series confronting powerful psychiatric groups to reveal corruption and the alarming history of abuses. The films included are:
  • Psychiatry: An Industry of Death —An investigation of psychiatry's dark past.
  • Making a Killing —Examining the "unholy alliance" between the psychiatric industry, Big Pharma and government regulators.
  • Prescription for Violence: Psychiatry's Deadly Side Effects — Examining the potential link between rising psychiatric drug prescriptions and acts of violence and suicide.
• Voices for Humanity—the only ongoing television series dedicated to showcasing everyday people leading grassroots efforts to promote human rights, educate youth on the dangers of drugs and combat psychiatric abuse.
• Documentary Showcase: Letters from Generation Rx—An Award-winning documentary that exposes the dangerous and devastating effects of antidepressants, antipsychotics and other drugs marketed by pharmaceutical companies as "safe and effective."

The World Mental Health Day Marathon starts October 10 at 8 a.m. ET.
