Wrestling With The Long Arm Of The Law

Aspect of Need Addressed: Legal

Families with mentally ill loved ones are no strangers to the legal system.

This can be one of the most harrowing experiences a family can experience.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness, New Jersey State chapter, has published a helpful pamphlet to help families navigate the legal system after, and before, problems occur.
