Advocates for Mental Health exists to provide information about available mental health services, recovery strategies, suicide prevention, advocacy about government policies and to offer activities that foster mental and physical well-being. We provide a safe atmosphere for support group, educational and fellowship activity meetings.

"We are a collection of individuals – some who have gone through the storms of the soul as well as friends and family who stood by and helped another amid a squall – who recognize our need for and responsibility to each other.  You are welcome at Advocates: come join us, both to be helped and to help."

Our Goals:

1. Education for consumers.

2. Leadership development for consumers, democracy in action.

3. Advocacy for health system improvement.

4. Self-help and peer-support directed towards recovery.

5. Elimination of the stigma of mental illness.

6. Elimination of the isolation and loneliness associated with mental illness.

7. Suicide prevention.
