Find Your LegislatorDear Legislator,
I urge you to support increased funding for community mental health centers and the behavioral health workforce.
The seismic shift to employment, schooling, and daily life have impacted the mental well-being of nearly every American. Further, the threat of infection, loss of loved ones, and economic insecurity have resulted in increased stress, trauma, anxiety, and depression for BIPOC communities. For too long, our oppressed and vulnerable communities have relied on unsystematic partial measures to respond to the need for comprehensive mental health support. Likewise, the behavioral health care workforce is challenged by shortages, moral injury, secondary trauma, and inadequate reimbursement, yet continues to meet the needs of our communities with solidarity and expertise to foster recovery and hope.
To address these challenges compounded by the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and systemic racism, funding levels for the behavioral health workforce must rise to the occasion and recognize it for the public health crisis it truly is. Not only will the investment protect communities that depend on these services, but it is in the best interest of the future of our country to invest in services that are preventative, comprehensive, and individualized to achieve a vision of recovery that is inclusive of all.
Thank you,
