THE PHILADELPHIA ALLIANCE MISSION STATEMENT

The Philadelphia Alliance, a professional society of fifty specialized agencies working cooperatively, is committed to improving the quality of mental health, mental retardation and drug and alcohol services through leadership and support of the human services system.

THE PURPOSES OF THE ALLIANCE

"The purposes of the Alliance are to bring together agencies providing services for people with mental illness, intellectual disabilities, and addiction challenges 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 vulnerable citizens who are affected by mental illness, intellectual disabilities, and drug and alcohol dependency."
Article 1, By-laws of the Philadelphia Alliance.

THE ROLE OF THE ALLIANCE

The Philadelphia Alliance is committed to the delivery of the best possible service systems and supports for our members' 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.
