ADMIRE Mission Statement
Families Seeking Quality Emergency Health Services In Milwaukee County
Vision
We are a group of advocates and parents who envision a day when children, young adults, and adults with serious mental illness receive emergency and post-emergency mental health services judiciously, efficiently, and humanely.
Mission
We want to understand why there are problems with emergency mental health treatment in Milwaukee County and then advocate for changes to processes so that those who are seriously mentally ill receive the quality treatment they need and deserve.
- We want Milwaukee County to prioritize service, treatment, and housing for those who suffer most from serious mental illness.
- We want significant change to occur at the Granite Hills facility to accomplish this.
- We want parents (legal guardians) to have more involvement in all stages of the emergency mental health treatment process.
- We don’t want seriously mental ill patients being released to the general population without access or commitment to additional services.
Values
We are frustrated with the current state of emergency mental health services administered by Milwaukee county officials.
We believe that anyone with a potential harm to themselves, their family or the community should be able to receive emergency mental health treatment, through Milwaukee County services, for whatever period of time is required to achieve stability.
We believe that anyone exiting a county administered emergency mental health treatment facility has the right to live in a safe, predetermined housing option.
We believe that we can be of help to improve mental health services for those who suffer the most from serious mental illness.
