Be A Part of Forming the First-Ever National Mental Illness Justice Center!

Join The STARR Coalition in DC on April 23 to help build the foundation of the National Mental Illness Justice Center at a gathering co-hosted by the Schizophrenia & Psychosis Action Alliance and the Treatment Advocacy Center.

Participate in a structured working session designed to define the guiding principles for the Justice Center and produce a blueprint of potential elements, including legal toolkits, model policy standards, court and law enforcement education resources, connections to legal aid and pro bono counsel, referral pathways to treatment clinics and diversion programs, and clear guidance for families seeking informed support before situations escalate.

The one-day session will take place from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern in Washington, DC.
