PPAC advocates have a leadership position in guiding mental health legislation and policies that best serve California's diverse population. Through collaboration with our physician members and ongoing communication with state legislators, agencies, and stakeholders, PPAC develops policy and legislative positions that impact the delivery of mental health care in California. In Sacramento, it's our job to inform policymakers about the positions we adopt, to advocate  for or oppose legislation, and to educate officials and the public about the delivery of mental health programs. Our alliance influences mental health policy throughout the State of California and the nation.
