Systemic Advocacy

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

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 have lived experience with the systems that we seek to change. We build power through coalitions with individuals and organizations who seek to create a more just society for people with mental health concerns.

Impact Litigation

Our systemic advocacy includes class action litigation. MHP has a long history of bringing litigation designed to make systemic changes that improve and protect the rights of New Yorkers with mental health concerns.
