Alliance For Mental Health Consumers' Rights

The Alliance is focused on encouraging, educating, training and organizing people who have received services, voluntarily or involuntarily, from a mental health system to advocate for themselves and support each other.

Description:
We provide opportunities for Consumers to obtain knowledge about their mental illnesses and gain control of their own mental health care.
We have several Support Groups meeting at our new location at 1921 Burnet, San Antonio TX 78202. We also have a new website www.allianceformentalhealth.org. Our phone number is 210-212-6472 ext 202

History:
The Alliance for Mental Health Consumers' Rights was formed as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation in 2002 by consumers of mental health services who were concerned by the cuts in mental health services in Texas and Bexar County. Our early meetings in homes, restaurants, and a downtown church has enabled us to expand to over 200 members. The Alliance recently moved to the Center for Health Care Services Family Services Center at 1921 Burnet in San Antonio 78202, where we currently provide several hobby and support groups. We hope to expand services as more consumers and volunteers get involved.
