Thank you @HannahWes making the point that a successful #988 means not always sending someone out... So much can be resolved on the phone which preserves choice and autonomy!

@HannahWes re #988: "It's so important that every single one of us has resources we need, when we need it." https://t.co/pSV3CS9xrG

You may have heard MAMH Co-Director of Public Policy and Gov't Relations Jennifer Honig - along with many others testifying - mention a few other important bills, all of which would have a positive impact on mental health care in #MA.

On #Juneteenth, we acknowledge how ⁠a loophole in the 13th Amendment enabled incarcerated people to be used as free and forced labor. Many of our clients have worked in prisons for meager pay while those beyond prison walls profited off of their work. https://t.co/tpYxWp7kEj

But they think they are benefiting from all the disparities in our society, so they gaslight the rest of us by claiming the racist policies they support are "race neutral." They have been taught the false and divisive idea that anything that helps another group harms them. 6/

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

There is no such thing as a “race neutral” policy. There are only racist policies, which produce inequitable and unjust outcomes, and antiracist policies, which produce equitable and just outcomes.

Winter days can be long and gloomy. But mental health care is available to support you. If you’re being unfairly denied by your insurance company for mental health care, go to https://t.co/elxf3SwIwv to learn more about your rights. #DontDenyMe
