The Regional Advocacy Program was initiated in 1998 to formalize TMHCA’s traditional role in helping consumers advocate for services, supports and consumer rights. Trained advocates assisted consumers in the community and operate a state-wide advocacy telephone hotline. Advocates participate in state and regional mental health councils and agency advisory boards to bring the consumer voice into decision-making. Advocates train other consumers in self-advocacy and system change methods. Each year TMHCA Advocates also sponsor several legislative trainings and a state-wide consumer conference.
