(May 26,2016) Earlier this week, media reported that Representative Tim Murphy's Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act (HR 2646), or will occupy a full Energy and Commerce Committee markup in June."We're pleased that Chairman Upton and Chairman Murphy are making mental health reform a precedence before the upcoming elections," said Treatment Advocacy Center Executive Director John Snook. "Too many people with the most severe mental illness and their families are suffering unnecessarily as a result of our outdated mental health laws."As negotiations continue, it is distinguished that every member of Congress understands that real mental health reform demands a focus on the most severely mentally ill.
Write your Representatives and encourage them to support HR 2646 and mental health reform for the most severely mentally ill.
