So proud of our center for starting the transformation in to a CCBHC!
A2: Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics, #CCBHCs, expand access to mental health and substance use treatment. For more about the impact of #CCBHCs, read our 2021 CCBHC Impact Report: bit.ly/3ue6u0o

A3: 98% of Lifeline calls do not require emergency services. Instead, evaluations & caller feedback show that Lifeline counselors are effective in reducing caller distress and suicidality, & help tens of thousands of people get through crises every day. #BHCrisisChat (2/2)

Agree completely, this is why LEO’s have become the default of the BH crisis response system. This system needs to completely be reversed. #BHJusticeChat

A5: Working in correctional settings can be challenging. We need to support and incentivize highly qualified professionals to provide the best possible care for people with mental illness who are incarcerated. #BHJusticeChat
We have a lot of mental health professionals participating in this #BHJusticeChat. Let's talk about challenges and misconceptions⬇️

A4: Once incarcerated, many don't receive the services & supports they need. Peer supports are one essential piece and should be part of the services available to people who are incarcerated. Read about NAMI Western Nevada's work to help: nami.org/Blogs/NAMI-Blog/Jun… #BHJusticeChat

What @NAMIAdvocacy said! Congress must pass the Medicaid Reentry Act #BHJusticeChat
A3: People enrolled in health insurance upon release are more likely to engage in services to support their wellness. Congress must #Act4MentalHealth and pass the Medicaid Reentry Act to help communities connect people with mental health services upon release. #BHJusticeChat

A2: Jails & EDs shouldn’t be the only option for someone experiencing a mental health crisis. Communities must expand the crisis services that are available to help. Learn more about what your community should consider: nami.org/divert-to-what. #BHJusticeChat

A1: People with mental illness are overly represented in the justice system.
37% of people incarcerated in state & federal prison -- and 44% of people incarcerated in jail -- have a history of mental illness.
People deserve help, not handcuffs. #BHJusticeChat

Last night’s Unite for Change Rally was a great reminder of how important it is that we ALL advocate for #mentalhealth and #addiction changes in 2020! This is a priority for the majority of Americans–let's make sure policymakers know: bit.ly/2kW0iMY #MentalHealthforUS

According to new research from @MorningConsult, a majority of voters say they are more likely to support a candidate in 2020 who promises to address #mentalhealth and addiction regardless of party affiliation. We all need to #Unite4BH. buff.ly/2LyJFBu
