Mental Health Justice

Mental Health Justice Issue Team

The Mental Health Justice Issue Team is made up of people living with mental illness, neighborhood providers and allies.  Our view on mental illness is that recovery is possible. We believe that people living with mental illness should live in the least restrictive setting as possible. We fight for the rights of people living with mental illness to end the oppressive stigma. We work together to ensure that the needs of all community members are met through community based services and advocacy focused on recovery.
