PAAT is a committee of peers that work to advocate for those served by the mental health system, educate our community about mental illness, promote wellness and recovery, reduce stigma, and provide support for those living with mental illness.

Originating with our North Santa Barbara Recovery Learning Communities, LEAD is a team of adults with lived experience of a mental illness who speak to the community and advocate for important changes in local policy. The program represents a new generation of community leaders, deeply invested in the cause of mental health advocacy and accurately and empathically represents its peers in the process.

In order to reduce stigma and promote wellness and recovery throughout our community, it’s necessary to provide education and insight into what it’s like to live well with a mental illness. In many of our presentations, one or several people with lived experience of mental illness will share their personal stories with the audience, discussing their struggles and their journey to recovery.

TMHA’s Education Programs offer a variety of classes and programs designed to provide support and insight into mental illness, promote wellness and recovery, and to provide people with tools to use in their recovery process.
