a neighbors-helping-neighbors organization that provides the
kind of support and advocacy that government cannot provide.

in the community.It
allows us to:
- Continue
our strong public advocacy, demanding improved services for
persons with mental illness and their families
- Address
the insensitivity to the mentally ill found in the Criminal
Justice system
- Increase
public awareness through brochures, videos, the internet and
publications
- Bring
you the latest information on research, treatment and important
mental health issues through our newsletter, this website,
workshops and events
- Conduct
programs of education for families and mental health care
consumers, such as Family-To-Family and Peer-To-Peer
- Promote
Anti-stigma Awareness through teaching tools used in all grade
levels, watchdogging the entertainment industry; use of media,
and training health professionals and community leaders
- Continue
to support the work of our local affiliates on behalf of persons
with mental illness and their families throughout New York
State.
Your contribution
