For nearly 50 years, Mental Health Advocacy Services has served low-income adults and children with mental health disabilities in Los Angeles County by providing free legal advice and counsel and empowering this vulnerable community to improve their lives.
Federal funding of non-profit legal aid organizations is at risk. Recent changes in U.S. policy at the federal level threaten to push low-income adults and children with mental disabilities further into crisis at a time when they are already struggling with housing instability, access to employment and education, and economic barriers.
The attorneys and advocates at Mental Health Advocacy Services serve as a critical resource for people living with mental illness by helping them understand and assert their legal rights. Through MHAS's free legal advice and counsel, low-income individuals and their families can navigate complex legal systems and procedures to ensure that they have access to the services that they need to live with dignity and stability.
Please consider making a donation to MHAS in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. Your dollars directly fund legal representation for low-income individuals with mental health disabilities to ensure that they have access to:
- HOUSING by fighting housing discrimination, obtaining reasonable accommodations, preventing evictions, increasing housing subsidies, and providing community presentations on tenant protections.
- A FRESH START to legally expunge information from their records that may adversely affect their opportunities for gainful employment.
- PUBLIC BENEFITS that are vital for individuals and families to meet their basic needs.
- SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES to ensure that children and youth with mental health disabilities receive the support they need to succeed academically.
- AND MORE!
