Help me complete this directory

This directory is very incomplete. If you know of an organization, advocate, or blog or website involved specifically, mainly, or solely around restraint and seclusion or criminal justice issues and developmental disabilities, please complete this form to send information on that organization, advocate, or blog or website to me. 

This can also be yourself, if the advocate is you! 

(On the other hand, if your own information is incorrect or you'd like for your entry to be removed, you can use the same form below to indicate that. To be removed, write that information in the space for "address.")
