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:

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, Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act, Opioid Treatment Access Act, Parity Implementation Assistance Act and Closing Health Coverage Gaps for Public Servants Act, 988 Implementation Act, Into the Light for Maternal Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders Act, and Excellence in Recovery Housing 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.
