Advocacy
RAISING OUR VOICES
Founded in 1951 as an advocacy organization, Mental Health Partnerships has worked to expand and protect the rights of people with mental health conditions to improve the systems that serve them. We know that effective policies are only created when all stakeholders play a part in the process, so we fight to make sure mental health is always a part of the conversation. We assist individuals with mental health conditions and family members alike to raise their voices and to make room for mental health at the decision making table.
Together, We Build Hope
Systems Advocacy
Our systems advocacy engages people who care about behavioral health to have a voice in the process. We work with peers, family members, and allies in the community to fight for a system that better meets the behavioral health needs of our communities. We know that change IS possible, but only when we all lend our time, our energy, and our voices.
