This Fall, work with Grassroots Campaigns and Amnesty International USA to protect human rights worldwide.

In the United States, a woman is raped every 6 minutes; a woman is battered every 15 seconds. Rape of women is widespread in armed conflicts such as Colombia and Darfur.

The experience or threat of violence affects the lives of women everywhere, cutting across boundaries of wealth, race and culture. In the home and in the community, in times of war and peace, women are beaten, raped, mutilated, and killed with impunity.

Founded in 1961, Amnesty International has campaigned successfully in recent years for the International Criminal Court and a UN Torture Treaty. Through our research and action, governments have been persuaded to stop human rights violations and change their laws and practices.

Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. has worked with a wide array of organizations,including the Democratic National Committee, MoveON PAC, Amnesty International, Save the Children, the Sierra Club, and Environmental Action.

Additional detail:

The Mental Health Association of Alameda County (MHAAC) is an independent, nonprofit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. MHAAC assists and advocates on behalf of persons who have a mental illness and their families.

The Patients' Rights Advocacy/Patient Representation program deploys staff members to investigate complaints by mental health patients and residents that their rights have been violated. This program also provides patient representation at certification review hearings (where the issue is whether there is probable cause to certify a patient for up to 14 days of intensive, involuntary mental health treatment) and at capacity hearings (where the issue is whether the patient has the capacity to give informed consent to treatment with anti-psychotic medications).

THE POSITION

The occupant of this position will carry out the work of the Patients' Rights Advocacy/Patient Representation Program in Alameda County. Patients' Rights Advocacy includes: investigating and attempting to resolve complaints; monitoring facilities for compliance with patients' rights; and, training mental health staff members and informing patients about patient's rights. Patient Representation involves meeting with patients who have been certified for up to 14 days of intensive involuntary treatment or who are alleged to be incapable of giving informed consent, then providing appropriate assistance, including representation at Certification Review Hearings.

TYPICAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

* Ensure that notices which set forth the rights of mental health patients/residents are posted in
mental health facilities and residential programs.

* Respond to inquiries regarding patients' rights and laws and procedures on voluntary and
involuntary mental health treatment.

* Monitor mental health facilities, services, and programs for compliance with statutory and
regulatory patients' rights provisions.

* Provide training and education about mental health laws regarding patients' rights to mental
health providers.

* Act as an advocate on behalf of patients/residents who are unable to register a complaint
because of their own mental and/or physical conditions.

* Conduct interviews with involuntary patients who have been certified to: help each patient
understand the certification review process and the reasons given as to why he/she has been
certified; assist the patient in obtaining the presence of any other person(s) he/she may wish to
have at his/her hearing; explore with the patient any feasible alternatives to his/her continued
involuntary hospitalization; and, ascertain whether the patient wishes the Hearing
Representative to assist or to represent him/her at the Hearing. Also, arrange for an
interpreter, if needed.

* Provide assistance to and representation for involuntary patients whose treating psychiatrist
has petitioned the Superior Court for a ruling on the capacity of the patient to give informed
consent to anti-psychotic medication. This entails: interviewing the patient to assist him/her
in understanding informed consent and the capacity hearing process, and to determine what other
assistance the patient wants or needs in preparation for the hearing; carefully examining the
patient's medical record to monitor for compliance with the law regarding informed consent,
and interviewing facility staff when the record is incomplete; and, consulting with psychiatrists
or other treating staff prior to hearings when appropriate.

* Perform any other pre-hearing investigation which appears warranted, including review of the
patient's chart and other relevant documents.

* Attend Certification review and/or capacity hearings, providing whatever level of assistance or
representation each patient has requested.

* Maintain accurate and organized case records for patients who have Certification review or
capacity hearings or whose complaints regarding patients' rights violations have been

outcomes.

members to provide high-quality advocacy for patients under certification.
