The National Council for Mental Wellbeing is calling for support to address the ongoing mental health and substance use crises. They are organizing a virtual advocacy event called Hill Day on October 18 from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm EST, where participants can urge elected officials to focus on key issues such as the behavioral health workforce shortage, establishing Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC) into federal law, expanding access to substance use care, and investing in crisis care infrastructure. Register for the event today!

The RCPA ICWC/CCBHC meeting that was originally scheduled for April 11 has been rescheduled to May 24. This is so RCPA Policy Directors and members can view the House Budget Hearings for DHS, which are scheduled April 11. The meeting time will remain the same, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm, as will the format. Please register for the meeting here, and note that if you registered for the April 11 meeting, you will need to re-register for this event.

We apologize for any inconvenience; however, the activities at the hearings are critical to our ongoing advocacy efforts. Please contact Jim Sharp if you have any questions or concerns.
