EQUAL ACCESS: Are We There Yet?
Join us for the Mental Health Parity Statewide Town Hall on November 20, 2025, from 2:00–3:15 PM, hosted both online and in person at The Carter Center.

Mental health parity requires health insurers to provide equal coverage for mental health and substance use disorders as they do for physical health conditions—ending arbitrary coverage limits and denials for chronic mental health and substance use conditions.

This statewide conversation will explore where Georgia stands in achieving true parity and what more can be done to ensure fair and equitable access to care for all.

Let’s come together for equal access and continue working toward a system where mental health is treated with the same priority as physical health.

✅ Continuing Education Credit Available
📍 Attend in person at The Carter Center or join online
