Change starts when we refuse to accept a broken system.

Every day, families face the devastating reality of a system that fails to treat severe mental illness as the medical crisis it is.

"We thought the right diagnosis would mean the police are no longer involved... but none of that happened. It just continued to be a cycle of in and out of jail. When I discovered the laws around severe mental illness, I realized I had to work for Treatment Advocacy Center — because we are the only national organization solely dedicated to eliminating the barriers to treatment.”
— Sabah Muhammad, Legislative & Policy Counsel, TAC

For more than 25 years, TAC has led the charge to reform outdated laws, promote evidence-based treatment, and ensure that people living with severe mental illness get help before tragedy strikes.

"Treatment Advocacy Center is a great resource — one that’s not duplicated elsewhere. You can’t find another group with the same type of information and resources needed to reform treatment for people with SMI.”
— Hon. Pat Wolke, Judge, Oregon’s 14th Judicial District

This Giving Tuesday, your support fuels this critical work — from treatment victories to life-saving policy change in every state.
 

Together, we can make treatment accessible, compassionate, and effective for everyone who needs it.

With gratitude,
The Treatment Advocacy Center Team
