Our goals are the prevention of mental illness, the promotion of mental health and improved services for those with mentally illness. We accomplish these goals by sponsoring prevention programs, providing community education, and advocating for improved services and creating opportunities for empowerment of persons with mental illness. Research has resulted in new and effective treatment protocols that offer hope and opportunity for those with mental illnesses. Education has helped to promote community integration of persons who were once isolated in institutional environments. Great progress has been made, but the job is not yet done.
Mental illness remains a challenge, mental health a goal for everyone.
