Governor Shapiro’s Office has launched a new phone number, which will allow him and his Administration to communicate directly with Pennsylvanians on important updates and hear from them on issues impacting them and their families. This communication is made possible through Community, an SMS engagement platform that connects elected officials, businesses, public figures, and sports teams to their audiences through unique 10-digit phone numbers. 

Why is the Governor launching this number?  

Governor Shapiro fundamentally believes there should be no wrong door to access government, whether you are calling an office, walking into a government building, or (now!) sending a text. The Governor has made meeting Pennsylvanians where they are a key aspect of his Administration — from connecting with Pennsylvanians everyday on social media to engaging content creators around important events and updates.  

How do I sign up to receive texts? 

Signing up is easy — all you have to do is text 717-788-8990, or visit this link! Make sure you follow the prompts after you text to continue receiving messages from the Governor.

Message from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing:

This Fall is shaping up to be one of the most consequential federal legislative periods in recent years.

Lawmakers are treating the time between September and December as one of their last and best chances to pass meaningful, bipartisan legislation and secure funding for key behavioral health programs and services before the 2024 election cycle dominates the conversation.

So, it’s the perfect time for us to come together and demand our elected officials prioritize solutions to address the nation’s ongoing mental health and substance use crises.

Register Now!

Register now to join our Virtual Public Policy Institute on Wednesday, October 18. Together, we’ll embark on an afternoon of virtual advocacy where we’ll directly contact elected officials about issues like:

  • The behavioral health workforce shortage;
  • Establishing CCBHCs in federal law;
  • Expanding access to substance use care and treatment; and
  • Investing more in the nation’s crisis care infrastructure.

While great progress has been made by Congress and the Biden-Harris administration in the past few years, more must be done to ensure everyone everywhere has access to comprehensive, high-quality mental health and substance use care.

This is your time to make a difference. With your help, our unified voice will cut through the noise and ensure mental health and substance use programs are front and center during a busy legislative Fall.

We look forward to seeing you.
