Who We Are

The Health and Wellness Action Advocates (HWAA) is a monthly gathering of people who have first hand experience in the mental health service system. We self identify as peers, survivors, consumers and/or clients. We are an interactive advocacy group dedicated to improving housing and mental health services for all people with psychiatric disabilities in San Francisco.

Goals

To monitor San Francisco political and policy issues that affect people with mental illness.
To create and implement education and advocacy projects that support consumers taking part in the policy-making process

Time & Place

Action Advocates meet on the first Tuesday of every month from 5pm – 7m, at the MHA-SF offices at 870 Market Street, Suite 928.

For Your Health: A Resource Kit

MHA-SF and HWAA believe that everyone should have access to basic necessities that empower them to lead healthy lives. To meet this need, HWAA members assembled a Resource Booklet for people with mental health needs living in San Francisco. The organizations listed in the Resource Booklet provide assistance and support in the following areas: Crisis Lines, Mental Health Services, Physical Health/Medical Service, Temporary Shelter, Support Groups, Advocacy, and Legal Help.
