ADAP’s PAIMI program serves adults with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) and children with Serious Emotional Disturbances (SED) through activities to ensure the enforcement of the Constitution, and Federal and State statutes. Under its PAIMI program, ADAP provides legally based advocacy services and investigates abuse, neglect, and rights violations.
ADAP’s PAIMI program priorities are established annually by ADAP, its Governing Authority, and its PAIMI Advisory Council. These priorities govern the work that ADAP will do during the year on behalf of persons with SMI and SED. Over the last few months, ADAP has analyzed its individual and systemic work and sought input from the public to identify the most pressing advocacy needs of adults and children with mental illness. Based on this effort, we have identified the top five priorities on which we need to focus in the 2023-2024 program year. We welcome your comments regarding these proposed priorities. You can email your comments to ADAP at adap@adap.ua.edu. Or, you can contact us phone at 205.348.4928. |
