Background

Increase funding for community mental health services to help cut waiting times and fully staff 24/7 crisis lines.

Additional details

We think too many people are failed by our mental health system. I’m calling for funding so people get early help, shorter waits for therapy, crisis lines that answer. This is about saving lives.
