Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mental health care systems have internal rights protection systems or mechanisms to combat any violation of their clients' rights. Each state mental health provider is required to establish and operate a system that protects and advocates for the rights of individuals with mental illnesses. The American Hospital Association and American Public Health Association serve as advocates for the rights and treatment of mental health clients and are part of an external advocacy system. Clients' rights are also assured of protection by an agency's accreditation, such as accreditation by The Joint Commission.
