TIME TO ADVOCATE ON MENTAL HEALTH BUDGET

The Governor and General Assembly have just given themselves a seven day extension on coming up with a plan to resolve the budget crisis. This means that mental health advocates have one more week to let our Governor and lawmakers know that they need to pass a budget that protects the safety net for individuals with mental illness.

YOUR CALLS AND E-MAILS ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

We continue to receive reports from members of the General Assembly that they are hearing our message and are looking for ways to restore funding to the Ohio Department of Mental Health’s budget from the devastating cuts proposed by Governor Strickland. In addition, newspapers from around the state are calling on lawmakers to prioritize mental health services.

Please continue to contact your legislators. The message is simple.

DO NOT CUT MENTAL HEALTH. IF YOU DO, PEOPLE WILL DIE.

Below are some simple tools to find out who your lawmakers are and how to contact them.
