About Mental Health Now

Mental health now is a statement of support signed by candidates, not an endorsement or scorecard. Candidates who sign the statement of support may not agree with each other or with Inseparable on each policy solution. They have agreed to do their part to bring mental health to the forefront of the policy conversation and advance access to care, crisis services, youth mental health, and the mental health workforce.
