Advocacy Unlimited, Inc. was founded in 1994 by Founding Director Yvette Sangster as the Community Advocacy Education Division (CAED), a branch of Connecticut Legal Rights Project (CLRP). CAED was established to help all individuals in recovery from psychiatric disabilities through education in self, systems, and legislative advocacy skills. CAED became independently incorporated in the Spring of 1998 and was renamed Advocacy Unlimited, Inc. Its founding mission and original vision remained unchanged. AU supports initiatives that integrate consumers of mental health services into community life while respecting their freedom, dignity, and self-fulfillment. CLRP is a nonprofit agency providing legal services for individuals with or in recovery from psychiatric disabilities, whether they are in hospitals or in the community. Advocacy Unlimited, Inc. is directed and controlled by persons in recovery from psychiatric disabilities. It is an organization dedicated to promoting self-determination for these individuals.
