"The world is better because you're in it. Never forget that consumers make a difference. Walk a mile in our shoes!"

LCMHA staff, consumers, and community members came together with other advocates from all over the state to make their voices heard at the State Capitol yesterday! The annual Walk A Mile event gathers more than a thousand people who care about mental health. They come together to raise awareness and support a strong and safe public behavioral healthcare system. This event is important because it helps everyone understand, including legislators, how crucial mental health is and why we need to take care of it.

Even though this year's rally is over, you can still reach out to your legislators to let them know how important the public mental health system. Visit: https://cmham.org/advocacy/take-action-now/
