Goals:
Advocate at the county, state, and national levels for non-discriminatory access to quality healthcare, housing, education, and employment for people with mental health disorders.
- Educate the public about mental health disorders.
- Work to eliminate the stigma of mental health disorders.
- Advocate for increased funding for research into the causes and treatment of mental health disorders.
Vision:
In our envisioned future, mental health disorders will no longer thwart a person’s fulfillment of his or her potential.
