Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. This year’s theme- “Mental health is a universal human right.” Everyone, regardless of age, race, socioeconomic class, rurality, sexual orientation or gender identity, should have access to high-quality mental health care and support. #StopSuicide

Republican lawmakers Sen. Jim Burgin and Rep. Wayne Sasser are speaking at @MHLegislativeBk right now saying this is the year for #MedicaidExpansion.

Burgin says he's 90% confident in its passage. Sasser says a deal will be finalized in March. #ncpol #ncga

For over two decades, AAMFT, along with tens of thousands of MFTs, has advocated for this very deserved right to practice and serve a large population in need of mental health services. We are thrilled to announce that the Mental Health Access Improvement Act has passed!

On July 16, the U.S. will transition to using the 988-dialing code. 988 is more than just an easy-to-remember number—it’s a direct connection to compassionate, accessible care and support for anyone experiencing mental health-related distress. #HopeJustGotEasier
