Grassroots Advocacy
Policy change is one major way we can make a difference in the lives of people living with mental health conditions and their families. NAMI’s legislative and public policy priority is to support Americans affected by mental illness’ opportunities to build better lives. NAMI advocates for an array of issues including:
- Securing better funding for research
- Protecting people’s access to treatment and services
- Attaining mental health parity
We need you to help advocate for mental health in Illinois
How you can help
- Find out who your legislators are
- Formulate your specific “ask”
- Contact them, remembering to keep it short (just mention the bill or idea and a couple sentences why they should support it)
