Pass The Community Mental Wellness and Resilience Act

Dear [elected official],

Personalize your message

As a United Methodist, I pledge to foster mental health policies that promote compassion and advocate for access to care. The Community Mental Wellness and Resilience Act, sponsored by Reps. Paul Tonko, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Sen. Edward Markey seeks to address the compounding mental health crisis that frontline environmental justice communities face as they bear the brunt of the climate crisis.

According to Mental Health America, in 2022 almost 20 percent of adults (nearly 50 million people) experienced a diagnosed mental health challenge. Just last year, the American Psychiatric Association found that an overwhelming percentage of adults with children under 18 shared that they were concerned about the mental well-being of their children. These statistics are often worsened by communal traumas due to the overwhelming occurrence of natural disasters. In 2021 more than 40 percent of people within the United States lived within a county impacted by a major natural disaster.

As your constituent, I ask that you act with urgency and persistence in passing the Community Mental Wellness and Resilience Act.

Sincerely, [Your information here]
