ADVOCACY
The Mental Health Association of Tarrant County is engaged in advocacy on issues which directly affect you. All MHATC committees are open to any interested person. Mental health consumers and family members are especially encouraged to participate.
Mental Health and Aging Coalition
The coalition meets quarterly at the MHATC office. Educational opportunities are offered every other meeting, with the intervening meeting being a networking, discussion and general work session. The Coalition has developed and presents such programs as:
· Suicide Prevention Planning
· Depression and Aging
· Understanding Depression and mental illnesses for long term care staff
· Using federally mandated screening tools for nursing home residents who have mental illness (PASARR)
· Minimizing relocation stress for older people
Please call MHATC if you would like to participate in the coalition, would like to help in presenting the above programs to the community, or would like to have one of the programs presented to a group.
Individual Advocacy
If you are dealing with insurance providers, schools or employers, MHATC may be able to assist you with personal advocacy to overcome problems and barriers. Please contact us, 817-335-5405, if you have questions or needs.
