Mental Health Rights Alliance Incorporated is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for the rights, dignity, and well-being of individuals living with mental illness. We believe that mental health is a fundamental human right and are committed to creating a world where mental illness is met with understanding, support, and compassion rather than stigma, discrimination, or neglect. Our organization was founded on the belief that every person deserves dignity, compassion, and the opportunity to lead a fulfilling life, regardless of their mental health challenges.
At Mental Health Rights Alliance Incorporated, we work tirelessly to address the systemic gaps that leave individuals with mental illnesses vulnerable to mistreatment, hardship and homelessness, unnecessary incarceration, and barriers to care. Our mission is rooted in equipping communities, first responders, law enforcement, legal professionals, paramedics, and families with the tools and knowledge to recognize mental illness through behavioral cues for timely intervention of necessary care, support and justice.
About Us
By fostering timely intervention, we aim to connect those in need with appropriate care systems, prevent injustice, break the cycle of homelessness, hardship, and sometimes incarceration caused by mental health crises, and help individuals reintegrate into society with dignity and purpose.
What We Do
We take a multifaceted approach to addressing mental health challenges through programs designed to:
Empower Identification: Train stakeholders to recognize and respond effectively to mental health crises.
