"Acknowledging mental illness doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human. When we speak openly about it, we give others permission and courage to also speak openly and to promote healing. ”
-Becca Balint, The Hill
John,
Becca just introduced a powerful piece of mental health legislation – her first bill as a member of Congress.
At a time when mental health challenges for kids and teens are at an all-time high, she is putting forward innovative, data-driven solutions to help empower young people to tackle issues related to mental health in their friend groups, communities, and schools.
Take a moment to read Becca’s latest op-ed in The Hill explaining her personal experience with mental health challenges, the details of this bill, and how we can give young Americans the tools they need to navigate through the ongoing mental health crisis.
One of Becca’s promises on the campaign trail was to change the conversation around mental health in Congress. This legislation proves that Becca is ready to make-good on that promise.
