ACTION ALERT! Sign in PRO to support youth behavioral health
Every child deserves the chance to grow up curious, confident, and emotionally resilient, supported by families, schools, and communities that help them thrive. Yet Mental Health America ranks Washington 48th in the country for “youth flourishing,” a measure of whether young people demonstrate learning, persistence, and emotional regulation. Too many young people are falling short of the emotional and behavioral prosperity they deserve, in large part because our state’s current system of care is failing to adequately meet their needs.
The Washington Thriving Strategic Plan (Senate Bill 6224) reflects what young people, caregivers, providers, and community members know and what they’ve long called for: early, accessible, culturally responsive supports and services—alongside effective crisis stabilization and treatment services. It provides a framework and roadmap to make that a reality, guiding Washington State’s next 10+ years of action and investment to build a more unified, coordinated behavioral health system that truly helps kids and their families.
Will you sign in PRO for SB 6224 to ensure young people and their families have access to the equitable care and support they deserve?
