About the Mental Health Summit


The Mental Health Summit is a coalition comprised of persons with mental illness and their families, advocacy groups and mental health service providers. The goal of the Summit is to preserve and increase funding of mental health services. Summit activities include work with the media, lobbying of legislators and the executive branch, building coalitions with traditional and non-traditional allies and identifying issues which may be used to focus legislative and public attention on the problems caused by the underfunding of mental health services in Illinois.
