In addition to direct legal representation in Family Court, PPDLAP will provide an array of technical assistance for all stakeholders, including publishing a Family Court Handbook for parents and non-lawyers, hosting professional trainings on representing parents with psychiatric disabilities in Family Court, establishing a website, and engaging in community outreach programs.

Please forward this information to all families and communities that you serve. We look forward to working with you and serving disabled persons. Parents may contact the Mental Health Project and PPDLAP at 1-877-MHPLAW1 or1-877-647-5291 and press 5.
