We are . . . . anyone who has an interest in helping homeless men, women, and children in Atlanta who have a mental illness.
We are outreach helpers, shelter supervisors, mental health care managers, adult protective service workers, agency directors, legal aid staff, government employees, to mention just a few. We are mostly just ordinary citizens who believe we can, small as we are, make a difference in the lives of individuals with a mental illness. Some of us attend the CHMI monthly meetings regularly, some from time to time, some never, but support our mission and goals.
We are an open forum where everyone is welcome at any level of participation they wish and where we can discuss any issue, even disagree amicably without alienating anyone.
We seek to be strong advocates on important issues that affect the homeless mentally ill in metro Atlanta
Whenever possible we seek support and give support to other mental health advocates and service providers on issues of mutual importance.
We work diligently to complement, not duplicate, what others are doing . . . . always in a constructive manner.
We identify gaps and offer proposals for improvement in services to homeless people with a mental illness to the responsible agencies. In doing so we give other key agencies involved in providing mental health services an opportunity for comment and hopefully gain their support.
