We want to hear from you about the Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) program.

The United States Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse, and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA) and the Center of Mental Health Services (CMHS) periodically monitors the operation of the PAIMI program by the Protection and Advocacy system in each state. DRW is undergoing this monitoring on June 15-17, 2021.

For a shareable flyer, view the Invitation for Public Comment flyer here (accessible pdf).

SAMHSA and CMHS invites you to submit comments about the PAIMI program services and activities. There are two ways to do so:

  1. Email your comments to PAIMI@samhsa.hhs.gov.
  2. Write your comments and send them through the mail. Please send your comments to:
