Patient Liaison Committee

Welcome to the Patient Liaison Committee portion of the MHAUS Website.

 

The Patient Liaison Committee (PLC) was formed to serve the needs of MH-susceptible individuals and their family. The members provide educational materials, access to MH expert consultants, and a support network.  It functions as an outreach for one-on-one contacts for individuals who would like to talk to someone with similar experience.   The committee members are volunteers who either have MH personally or a family member is MH-susceptible.

The Patient Liaison Committee sponsors a yearly mini-conference for not only medical professionals, but also family members who want to meet and talk to MH expert medical professionals directly.

 

The PLC brings a sense of patient ownership to support MHAUS and direct involvement by MH-susceptible patients and their families.  The committee focuses on increasing MHAUS memberships as well as volunteers for the PLC. 

 

Our goal is to have a committee member in every state and province in North America!
