Mental Health
AFSCME is the leading union representing employees working in institutional and community-based facilities serving the developmentally disabled and the mentally ill. We care for adults and children in state hospitals and community programs. We are psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists, nurses, rehabilitation therapists, developmental aides, pharmacists, dieticians and food service workers. We work to provide the best care to every individual. We also work to ensure that quality care is available to all who need it.

"There is real joy in helping our patients live fuller lives. Unfortunately, there is no joy in dealing with inadequate funding and unsafe working conditions. Our union fights for patient safety through safe staffing ratios, so experienced professionals can continue to deliver quality mental health care to those who need it."
