THE PURPOSES OF THE ALLIANCE

"The purposes of the Alliance are to bring together agencies providing community mental health, mental retardation and drug and alcohol services to improve, participate in and help implement the planning and coordination of these services throughout the Philadelphia area; to strengthen the working relationships among member agencies and with the City Administration and other relevant governmental offices; to further the opportunity and ability of member agencies to contribute to the effective delivery of services to the city's mentally disabled persons and those who are affected by drug and alcohol dependency."

THE ROLE OF THE ALLIANCE

The Philadelphia Alliance is committed to the delivery of the best possible service systems and supports for our members' specialized clients. The Alliance, through Domains, Committees, and teams of members, maintains communications with professionals, City of Philadelphia, and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania officials.

The Board of Directors of the Alliance draws upon and utilizes the professional expertise and enthusiasm of its members in its advocacy work; it publishes position papers and promulgates opinions. It promotes necessary legislative, financial or programmatic changes to appropriate legislators or governmental agencies at local, state or national levels. The Alliance assists member agencies in collaboration for mutual benefit and for the benefit of individuals served.
