Systemic Advocacy

Our systemic advocacy involves impact litigation, coalition building, and legislative advocacy.

Our systemic advocacy is informed by our direct services work with clients, and we encourage graduates of our courses and trainings to become involved in shaping mental health policy.

We believe in working alongside people who are have lived experience of the systems we seek to change. We build power through joining in coalitions with individuals and organizations who seek to create a more just society for people with mental health needs.
