With the help of Tri Kappa philanthropic sorority, this program collects Christmas gifts and hosts a party for local and Madison State Hospital mental patients. Emphasis is placed on showing someone cares about patients who might otherwise be forgotten during the holiday season. Patient Services is one of the most active and sought-after volunteer experiences the agency offers. Many volunteers have remained with the program for 20 years or more. This program targets those interested in legislative affairs and advocacy to benefit the mentally ill.
Participants call and write their legislators, as well as engage in other forms of advocacy.
