Hello John,
Treatment Advocacy Center made public education about severe mental illness and SMI policy a top priority last year. We recognized the need to make our work and ourselves more accessible to our local advocates — sharing our wisdom directly with our supporters and training them to become more effective advocates.
The theme of last year’s impact report is Make them hear you, and we have been steadfastly committed this year to helping our supporters raise their voices.
As you will read in these pages, last year we trained more than 450 participants in our AOT Learning Network spanning 40 states, lent technical assistance to over 30 AOT programs throughout the country, testified more than a dozen times in front of legislative bodies, helped pass seven priority bills, published 52 editions of Research Weekly and appeared in 300 news stories.
