Fighting for the lives of people with severe mental illness in a system stacked against them
Our Mission
TAC’s mission is to eliminate the barriers to timely and effective treatment of severe mental illness (SMI) through advocacy, public education, and support for individuals and families affected by SMI.

Welcome to our SMI community of individuals, families, and loved ones affected by severe mental illness. Reach out to our Helpline team or check out our helpful resources developed specifically for you.
Our SMI Community
Our treatment system for mental illness is broken. We are building a movement so our loved ones with SMI get the focus, funds, and access to evidence-based care that they deserve. There are many fronts – be a part of the movement in the way that works for you.
