Join us for our
Annual Celebration on
Thursday, October 7, 2010. Tickets and Sponsorships can be
purchased online now. This year we will honor Judge
Terry Friedman and Kimberly L. Wong, Esq., with
the Advocates Awards. |
 Read
about a new report
released by MHAS, CADRE, and Public Counsel detailing the
ongoing problem of school "pushout" in South Los Angeles. More
effective implementation of LAUSD's policy promoting supportive
discipline would improve outcomes for students with
disabilities.
 Don't
Forget that MHAS can help you apply for
a range of health, social
services and other support programs in a single application process
with One-e-App. ("One-e-App"
puede conectar su familia con una gama de servicios de salud,
servicios sociales y otros programas de apoyo con una sola
aplicación.
Información en español.)
 Don't
forget to check out our Fair Housing Tip of the Month. Each month we provide
important information for Mental Health consumers on how to handle issues such
as reasonable accommodation, confidentiality, emotional support animals, and
evictions. (En español)
