Thank you again for advocating with us to protect Medicaid.
While major cuts and changes were made to Medicaid, our work is not over. As the dust settles and implementation occurs over the coming years, we’re shifting into our next phase of advocacy: holding lawmakers accountable and protecting access to mental health care however we can.
​
Here’s what you can do right now: Send a message to your legislators. Depending on how they voted, NAMI's action center will prompt you to either thank them for supporting Medicaid or express your disappointment that they voted for a bill that will limit access to care for millions of Americans.
​
Either way, our legislators need to know that we are watching and will keep advocating for mental health.
​
​
NAMI will keep showing up, and we will keep sharing our stories. With your help, we’ll make sure people affected by mental health conditions remain front of mind for our policymakers.

Supporting Recovery
When someone in your family has a mental health condition, your support makes a big difference. However, it may be hard for you to know what to say or do. It can be especially difficult to balance caring for your own health with encouraging others to be responsible for their actions. We can help you.
