Advocacy: Speaking For Those Who Cannot... 
      For Those So Rarely Heard

Get a grip on the most current & most pressing issues!

MHA-A monitors legislation and governmental actions that affect mental health and the treatment of the mentally ill.  We meet with elective and appointive officials to argue for measures that enhance mental health and care for those mentally ill.  Our success is frequently determined by how loud we are.  The volume depends on you.  We need you to join with us in contacting legislators and others who influence public policy. 

Members of MHA-A are kept current on pending matters and asked to share their views with officials.  We invite you join us, preferably as a member but, if you wish, we will put you on our email mailing list for alerts about pending legislation or state decisions.  Just let us know you are interested.

Advocacy does work.  MHA-A has had a substantial impact on its community through speaking out and being involved.  Take a look.
