Foley Hoag Honored by MAMH for Championing Mental Health and Disability Rights
October 03, 2024
Foley Hoag LLP was the recipient, along with pro bono partner Center for Public Representation (CPR), of the Friend & Leader Award by the Massachusetts Association of Mental Health (MAMH). The award highlights those whose work contributes to progress in awareness, health promotion, prevention and effective treatment of children and adults affected by mental health challenges throughout Massachusetts.
In jointly honoring Foley Hoag and CPR, MAMH is recognizing the power of partnership and youth mental health. Foley Hoag and CPR litigated a series of cases spanning several decades improving services for people living with disabilities, including most recently the Marsters v. Healey case settled earlier this year.
In the Marsters v. Healey settlement, Foley Hoag with CPR as co-counsel helped structure an agreement in a class action lawsuit that expands opportunities for individuals in nursing facilities to receive the services they need to live in their communities of choice.
CPR is dedicated to enforcing and expanding the rights of people with disabilities and others who are in segregated settings. The MAMH’s mission is to advance mental health and wellbeing by promoting prevention, early intervention, effective treatment and research to address social, emotional, and mental health challenges.
