THE COALITION (formerly Coalition 2001) represents individuals and organizations statewide, that advocate for persons needing services and supports for mental health, developmental disabilities, and addictive diseases. MHA-NC was a founding member of the Coalition when it was formed in 1991. Since that time, each session The Coalition has recommended a budget to the North Carolina General Assembly. Each year during the Legislative session, The Coalition sponsors several advocacy events to bring local advocates to Raleigh to speak with their state legislators.
The Coalition Legislative Breakfast for the Central Region is scheduled for Wednesday, June 4. The Coalition Legislative Breakfast for the Eastern Region is scheduled for Wednesday, June 18.The Coalition Legislative Breakfast for the Western Region is scheduled for Tuesday, June 24.
At these events, the Coalition works to bring volunteer advocates (consumers, family members, and other advocates) from each legislative district to sit down and talk with their Legislators over breakfast. Registration is required for these events as the size of the room is limited and we want to ensure all districts are covered. This means we must limit the number of participants. If you are interested in attending please fill-out the Registration Form. A list of the counties for each region are listed below.
