I’m a Mental Health Now voter 🟣

Dear {Candidate Name},

I am writing to you as a concerned voter looking for your leadership on mental health.

Mental health is a pressing issue for me and countless others right now. We’re deeply worried about our families, communities, and our own well-being. Improving access to care is crucial, and we’re looking to leaders like you to govern with mental health top of mind.

One way to show your commitment is becoming a Mental Health Now candidate, by signing this simple Statement of Support (https://mentalhealthnow.us/statement-of-support/),  which says, if elected, you will support policies that:

  • Increase access to care
  • Promote wellness and early intervention for youth mental health
  • Improves crisis response
  • Strengthen the mental health workforce

I urge you to add your name to the Mental Health Now Statement of Support (https://mentalhealthnow.us/statement-of-support/), making mental health a priority once and for all. Our community and your constituents deserve a leader who will commit to decisive action. For more information on the Mental Health Now program, please visit mentalhealthnow.us.

Thank you,
{Your First & Last Name}
