The PAIMI (Protection & Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness) Advisory Council advises Disability Rights Arizona on priorities to be carried out in protecting and advocating the rights of people with mental illness.
The PAIMI (Protection & Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness) Advisory Council advises Disability Rights Arizona on priorities to be carried out in protecting and advocating the rights of people with mental illness.
The PAIMI Act requires each P&A to maintain and work with a PAIMI Advisory Council (PAC). The PACs are composed of people with experience, expertise and interest in mental health issues. Additionally, PAC members advise the P&As “on policies and priorities to be carried out in protecting and advocating the rights of individuals with mental illness.” The PAIMI Advisory Council (PAC) work includes helping to shape our mental health advocacy plans and participating in our annual priority-setting process.
