Eric Plakun, Medical Director/ CEO of Austen Riggs Center will share his thoughts on fundamental rights for anyone seeking mental health treatment. Inspired by Rockwell’s personal example and Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms, Plakun outlines Four Freedoms of Mental Health in an editorial published recently in the Journal of Psychiatric Practice. His Four Freedoms include Freedom from Stigma, Freedom from Dehumanizing Treatment, Freedom to Pursue Recovery, and Freedom of Access to Medically Necessary Treatment.

Land Acknowledgement

It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
