The Treatment Advocacy Center

The Treatment Advocacy Center is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with mental illnesses by promoting access to effective mental health care. They advocate for policies that ensure individuals with serious mental health conditions receive appropriate treatment, especially when they may be unable to recognize their need for help. The center works to reduce barriers such as legal restrictions that hinder involuntary treatment when necessary, aiming to prevent tragic outcomes like untreated mental illness leading to harm or homelessness. Their goal is to prioritize mental health care as essential and improve public safety and well-being.
