ABOUT
Mental Health Advocacy Services (MHAS) was founded in 1977 to provide free legal services to people with mental health disabilities.
For more than 45 years, MHAS has helped low-income adults and children fight housing discrimination, obtain access to the rights and benefits to which they are legally entitled, and remove other legal barriers that impact their overall health and wellbeing.
MHAS also serves as a resource to the community by providing training and technical assistance to attorneys, mental health professionals, consumer and family member groups, and other advocates.
MHAS participates in impact litigation in an effort to improve the lives of people with mental health disabilities.
