Civil legal issues affect many individuals with mental health and co-occurring disorders. Without assistance, the legal system can be confusing, time-consuming, and intimidating. Affordable legal services help individuals and their families navigate the legal system and resolve issues that may otherwise go unaddressed. For example, civil legal aid services can help individuals access government benefits, healthcare, housing, disability, and employment services. Some states, such as Arizona, have designed resources specifically for those who need help accessing the courts to address a mental health issue.
