Treatment Advocacy Center is a Washington, DC-based organization dedicated to preventing the suffering and harm caused by untreated severe mental illness (SMI). They strive to give individuals affected by SMI the opportunity to thrive by advocating for access to quality care, addressing key issues such as anosognosia and criminalization, and promoting reform priorities like preventing preventable tragedies and addressing bed shortages. Through their research, resources, and community-building efforts, Treatment Advocacy Center aims to support individuals, families, and loved ones impacted by SMI and create a movement for change in the broken mental health treatment system.
Treatment Advocacy Center also focuses on Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT), a court-supervised care program designed to help individuals who have been unable to engage with treatment. They emphasize the importance of AOT in saving lives and offer a learning network and resources to educate and support individuals interested in this approach. With a commitment to evidence-based care and a mission to fight for the lives of people with severe mental illness, Treatment Advocacy Center is dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of those affected by SMI.
