Join us in reaching out to the new Congress

It's Inauguration Day in the United States, and that means a new Presidential Administration will begin working with the new Congress in Washington, D.C. Now is the time for prevention, treatment and recovery advocates to establish ourselves as a constituency, to let federal policymakers know what we are seeing in our communities, and to emphasize the need for addiction and mental health solutions to be priorities in 2021.

Please join Hazelden Betty Ford in urging Members of Congress to prioritize recovery and mental health this year. We've made it quick and easy for you to advocate directly to your own Senators and Representatives. Just click the button below to take immediate action, and then peruse this month’s Advocacy Update for related news, issues and insights. Together, we can make a difference for all those who are struggling now and in the future.

Our new Advocacy Update includes articles by Emily Piper, highlighting big behavioral health wins in the recent federal COVID-19 relief package, and Marvin D. Seppala, MD, who makes recommendations for deploying proceeds from opioid litigation, and much more.

Thanks for reading, and for advocating with us. Please let us know what you think, and stay healthy and well!
