Advocacy Action Alert - Postcard Campaign

The Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, the Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health Authorities, and the Coalition for HealthyCommunities has developed an advocacy postcard campaign to be used to keep the pressure on the Governor and legislators to fund behavioral health in the budget corrective bill later this fall.

We are asking staff, family members, human service agencies, emergency services personnel, and community residents to make a concerted effort to get as many people as possible to send postcards to Governor Strickland and their Ohio House and Senate members.

It is a bold card with a bold message: Access to recovery services is not an issue of politics. It’s not an issue of finances. It’s an issue of life and death.

Postcards will be available soon from the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board. Please alert everyone you know to participate in this campaign on behalf of our loved ones and families.
