Guardian Advocacy  is a service offered by the Mental Health Association that provides a voice and a person to stand beside those persons who are involuntarily held for psychiatric treatment. The program protects the rights of the mentally ill through MHA representation at Baker Act hearings, local advocacy council, legislative support, individual assistance and special awareness activities. This service is staffed by trained volunteers and we are always looking for caring people to help for this worthwhile service. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer please call (386) 252-5785.
