When Governor Tina Kotek signed 5 bills to address Oregon's behavioral health crisis last week, our very own Shelley, NAMI WashCo Peer Support Specialist, got to speak about why this legislation is so important.

"When someone's struggling and sits across from me, they see someone who's been in their shoes. They know I understand the shame, the fear, and the feeling that recovery is impossible. But working in this field with lived experience means confronting my own trauma every single day, which is why I'm thankful for the steps toward the governor is taking today."

These bills will make it easier for people with severe mental health issues to receive treatment in Oregon. This includes establishing more residential treatment beds in behavioral health facilities, as well as making it easier to mandate treatment when someone is at risk of harming themselves or others because of their mental illness. The bills also include creating a statewide strategy for youth substance use protection.

Thank you Governor Kotek for signing these important bills! And thank you, Shelley, for sharing your story 💙
