Issues and Mental Illness
We can all play a part in fighting stigma and
improving access to mental health resources.
How? By using our voices.
Our government representatives need to know that we care about
the mentally ill, that we believe in a more hopeful future
for them, and that we want steps to be taken to improve mental
health services in our state and in our country.
One email, letter, or phone call means a lot. Use your power
and contact your legislators.

fronts to promote investment in recovery and
to prevent the abandonment of yet another generation
of
Americans with mental illnesses to neglect and hopelessness. The Campaign
highlights the need to build a comprehensive, efficient system to screen,
evaluate, diagnose and treat mental illnesses at every stage of life.
