Take Action: Advocate for Mental Health & Psychology in Colorado Today!

Dear Fellow Colorado Psychologists,

 It is more important now than ever to share your expertise with lawmakers to advocate for the people we serve and our profession in a way that no one else can do. Even if you just have a few minutes, here are some ways that you can use your voice!

  1. If you have only a couple minutes, complete this Action Alert: Communicate your objection to the proposed budget cuts that would set back the progress made to date to address the nation’s mental health crisis.
  2. If you have 5 or more minutes, visit this site APA/APASI Response Center where you can learn more about the current proposed policies and how they might impact our field.
  3. If you have 10 or more minutes, email local officials to share personal stories from the ground! This is where your unique perspective is vital. If you have examples of how you or the people are impacted by any of the priorities below, local lawmakers want to hear your story! If you have a story to share; connect with Colorado Senators through email Contact Senator Michael Bennet or Contact Senator Hickenlooper or you can contact your local representative here. If you want to share a story with APA you can click here to share a real story as to how the current policy changes may impact your work and the people you serve.
  • Supporting funding for the Graduate Psychology Education (GPE) programs. This would train more psychologists to work in integrated care settings and expand access to mental and behavioral health services in underserved and rural communities; these services are needed now more than ever given the shortage of psychologists in Colorado.

  • Supporting robust, sustained funding for NIH: This investment leads to longer, healthier lives by supporting critical research which serves as the foundation for nearly every preventive intervention, diagnostic, treatment, and cure in practice today.

  • Protect access to behavioral health services in Medicaid: Medicaid is the single largest source of coverage for behavioral health services. Without it, many low-income children, adults, and families would lose access to life-saving mental, behavioral, and substance use disorder treatment. A reduction in coverage for behavioral health services would also result in overall higher costs to the state, as many people experiencing a behavioral health crisis would instead rely on obtaining care in inappropriate settings like emergency rooms or jails/prisons

Please reach out to me if you have any questions about advocating for psychology!

Sincerely,
Michelle Dawson, PsyD
Federal Advocacy Coordinator, [email protected]
