Just like you, I have a powerful story of a loved one with SMI. Days after the death of my grandmother, our family found out that her mother — my great-grandmother — had not died when my grandmother was a child as we’d been told. The truth was, she was hidden away in a psychiatric hospital, a mere 40 miles from her family, until she died alone in 1976. She never escaped her psychosis. Both science and the law completely failed her.
I came to work at Treatment Advocacy Center because our loved ones — including my sister, diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder — deserve a better life than what my great-grandmother was forced to endure.
As a valued member of our community, you’ve seen the change we can create together. Now, I hope you’ll invest in the future of our work with a generous contribution toward our end-of-year goal.
Over the next two months, you’ll be hearing from Treatment Advocacy Center staff and board members about all the ways we’re making a difference in the SMI community. You are a vital part of our success. Be sure to donate to Treatment Advocacy Center so we can continue our critical work as a catalyst for change for those affected by SMI.
Sincerely,
