Today is the 16th anniversary of the #FederalParityAct! The bipartisan Federal Parity Act was signed into law 16 years ago today by former President George W. Bush. While there is no question that insurance coverage for #mentalhealth and #substanceusedisorder treatment is better today than it was in 2008, it's still difficult for far too many people to access care. Mental Health America encourages federal agencies, state insurance departments, and state Medicaid agencies to increase their enforcement efforts and focus in particular on network adequacy and provider reimbursement.

?? Launching today: The 2024 Young Leaders Council Annual Report! The 2024 MHA Young Leaders Council annual report, “Past Lessons, Future Insights: an Intergenerational Approach to Youth Mental Health,” is based on interviews conducted by the council with individuals who lived through historical crises such as the AIDS epidemic, China’s Cultural Revolution, 9/11 and the War on Terror. These conversations offer insights into how past experiences of collective trauma and resilience can inform today’s youth mental health advocacy. This report was co-authored by these members of the 2023-2024 YLC cohort: Whitney Andrastek, Chayil Bullock, Diana Chao, Makaila Davis, Anastasia Erley, Jonathan Jean Charles, Keegan Lee, Kaisar Perry, and Rick Yang.

Last week, representatives introduced critical legislation to provide schools with resources to start or maintain #youthpeersupport programs. Mental Health America (MHA) applauds Representatives Don Beyer and John Curtis for introducing this legislation. "Youth peer support is an effective practice that allows young people to empower their peers to resolve distress and prevent behavioral crises,” said Caren Howard, Senior Director of Policy and Advocacy at Mental Health America. “This bill will incentivize schools to offer youth peer support training amidst growing anxiety, depression, and suicidality in children and adolescents as part of an overall continuum of services.” Learn more ? https://lnkd.in/g4yXfXJX
