Partnership to End Addiction

In the midst of worsening mental health and addiction crises, urgent
action is needed.

As you know, Congress has introduced several bills this session to
address these crises. Congress is now working to pass a package of
legislation that includes many of these bills to address the issue
comprehensively. Thanks to your help in sending letters to your
members of Congress, many bills we support have been included in this
package. It is crucial to continue to push for passage of these
policies as they near the finish line.

The Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well-Being Act of 2022 would:

* Reauthorize key programs that support prevention, treatment, and
recovery services
* Expand access to medications for addiction treatment
* Increase parity enforcement
* Increase integration of behavioral health in primary care
* Support education and training programs to bolster the
behavioral health care workforce
* Support crisis intervention services
* Expand screening and treatment services for maternal mental
health and addiction
* Promote quality recovery housing
* Expand access to pediatric mental health care

It includes bills we have previously put out action alerts on, which
you may have previously sent to your members of Congress:
Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment (MAT) Act,

If you have signed any of these action alerts, we thank you for
getting the bills this far and encourage you to continue advocating
for them. If you haven't, we encourage you to add your voice to
help get these bills enacted into law. Send a letter to your member of
Congress urging them to pass the Restoring Hope for Mental Health and
Well-Being Act of 2022 to comprehensively address the mental health
and addiction crises.
