Organize
We believe that advocacy is not only about contacting officials and writing memos, but also about organizing efforts with other individuals, organizations, and communities. Become an active member of the Children's Mental Health Network and be a part of promoting the systems of care framework for improving services and supports for children and adolescents with mental health challenges and their families.
Be Heard
We advocate for issues impacting children, families and the professionals who work with them. With a particular emphasis on grant policies that promote a family-driven, youth guided approach, health care reform, and workforce policies impacting providers and families at the local level, the Children’s Mental Health Network works to improve national and state policy, regulations and services.
We invite you to find your voice on the issues that are important to you by contacting local, state and federal agencies and elected officials using our zip code based contact tool. Currently we have the capability for you to contact your congressional representatives via Twitter or through their official contact pages. We are hard at work developing a similar capability for local and state officials and state agencies. Stay tuned for updates on our progress!
