Overview
The Psychiatry Mental Health Advocacy Group was started to assist in the improvement of psychiatric care and the mental health of the public for the Wichita area and the State of Kansas.
In quarterly scheduled meetings the consumer will receive input to help guide resources towards areas of high need to improve psychiatric care. This website will provide an electronic means for the consumer to be informed and to influence public policy through their local, state and national legislation.
Who can join? Anyone who is interested in improving the psychiatric care for our citizens can become involved.
