Beware Scientologists Claiming To Be Mental Health Professionals
Group Intentionally Confusing Public
ALEXANDRIA, VA (September 17, 2001) - The National Mental Health Association
(NMHA) today is warning the public and media to beware of representatives of the
Church of Scientology who are claiming to be mental health professionals
assisting individuals in New York City.
“This is a very important and sensitive time,” said Michael M. Faenza, President
and CEO of NMHA. “I urge the Church of Scientology to stay out of mental health.
The public needs to understand that the Scientologists are using this tragedy to
recruit new members. They are not providing mental health assistance.”
Faenza said Fox News had been broadcasting an 800 help line for “National Mental
Health Assistance” and the network was unaware that the number was being
answered by the Scientologist’s center in Los Angeles.
“The National Mental Health Association has received a number of unconfirmed
reports that Scientologists with the letters NMHA on their shirts have been seen
in New York claiming to be mental health professionals,” Faenza explained. In
fact, a Scientologist spokesman told the St. Petersburg Times they had 450
volunteers working there.
“The police, fire departments, federal authorities and the media need to beware
of these individuals claiming to be mental health professionals, and make sure
they are working with credible mental health organizations,” Faenza said.
The National Mental Health Association is the country's oldest and largest
nonprofit organization addressing all aspects of mental health and mental
illness. With more than 340 affiliates nationwide, NMHA works to improve the
mental health of all Americans through advocacy, education, research and
service.

professional".
'AFAIK' goes only so far: You are completely uninformed. Most states in the
US require certification for the use of the word 'professional'. Using the
word 'professional' is a high misdemeanor in these states unless one is
state certified. Hubbard is not certification, unless for a 72-hour hold
for evaluation of insanity. Actually, Hubbard is a non-entity in the
certification process, since that process requires actual 'learning' and
successful practice. 'Successful practice' in $cientology is an oxymoron,
you moron.

Actually disbanding the nut-cult and confiscating their assets for victim
assistance would be much better, as the nut-cult does a lot better with the
captive audience they have in prison than they do with the fewer and fewer
dupes who walk in off the street.
