The Protection and Advocacy (P&A) Network help people living with mental illness navigate the mental health system, defend against discrimination, and get the services and treatment they need to live independent lives in the community. NDRN advocates for strong mental health laws on behalf of people with mental illness who rely on the P&A network to protect their rights and to keep them safe from abuse and neglect.
