Help MHAS fight health inequities through its provision of free legal services for people with mental health disabilities

Please consider making a donation during Mental Health Awareness Month to support Mental Health Advocacy Services’ provision of free legal services for low-income individuals with mental health disabilities and their families.

If you made it this far, you may be wondering how it is that a group of legal advocates can improve health outcomes for people experiencing mental illness. While we aren't mental health service providers, Mental Health Advocacy Services recognizes that there are a myriad of non-medical factors that can affect a person’s mental health, well-being, and quality of life. For example, socioeconomic status and structural racism produce and perpetuate health inequities.

Our goal as legal advocates is to leverage our expertise to ensure that our clients have access to safe housing, stable employment, physical and mental health care, and other resources needed to prevent mental health challenges and/or address them when they arise. You can check out one of our recent success stories below. Thanks a million for your support!
