11 What issues will we talk about with our Members of Congress this year?
12 Hill Day 2018 Asks Support FY2019 funding for mental health and substance use programs. Congress made clear its support of addiction and mental health funding in the FY 2018 omnibus spending package. Yet despite this increase in federal spending, sustained funding cuts in previous years limit Americans ability to access evidencebased treatments and lifesaving services and supports. Community-based providers of mental health and addiction treatment services are struggling to meet the growing demand for services. Highlighted programs include: Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant, Mental Health Block Grant, Supportive Housing, Primary and Behavioral Health Care Integration Grants and Technical Assistance, Mental Health First Aid, Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics, Peer Professionals Workforce, Mental Health and Substance Use Research, and more!
13 Hill Day 2018 Asks Cosponsor the Excellence in Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Expansion Act (S.1905/H.R.3931) Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) are expanding access to comprehensive addiction and mental health services in the eight participating states. This bill would extend the eight participating states by one year and expand the program to the other 11 planning grant states for the full two years. Sponsors include Senators Stabenow (MI) and Blunt (MO) and Representatives Matsui (CA) and Lance (NJ).
14 Hill Day 2018 Asks Support the Mental Health Access Improvement Act (S.1879/H.R.3032) Would allow marriage and family therapists (MFTs) and licensed mental health counselors to directly bill Medicare for their services. Mental health counselors and MFTs have similar training and licensure standards to similar providers already included within Medicare. This simple fix would expand access to services for Medicare enrollees living in workforce shortage areas. Sponsors include legislators from CA, CO, IA, MD, MO, NY, OR, and VA
15 Hill Day 2018 Asks Support legislation to strengthen the mental health and addiction treatment workforce. States urgently need a larger addiction and mental health treatment and recovery support workforce to address the opioid and suicide crises. Three bills would strengthen and grow the workforce through student loan forgiveness strategies. Target bills include: Strengthening the Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Workforce Act (S.1453) Substance Use Disorder Workforce Loan Repayment Act (H.R.5102) Improving Access to Mental Health Services Act (S.2533)
16 Hill Day 2018 Asks Support the Improving Access to Behavioral Health Information Technology Act (S.1732/H.R.3331) Comprehensive care coordination and comparable health IT in behavioral and physical health is needed to combat the nation s opioid epidemic. This bill would assist behavioral health providers in adopting electronic health records (EHR) by adding them to CMMI s list of models to test and giving them the resources needed to afford these investments. Sponsors include: Senators Whitehouse (RI) and Portman (OH) and Representatives Jenkins (KS) and Matsui (CA)
17 Hill Day 2018 Asks Support the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) 2.0 Opioid addiction is a public health crisis that needs a multifaceted solution. CARA 2016 focused on a broad and coordinated response: prevention, treatment, recovery, law enforcement, criminal justice reform, and overdose reversal. CARA 2.0 builds on efforts to treat addiction, providing desperately-needed funding for addiction treatment including medication-assisted treatment. The bill also dedicates funding to recovery support services like recovery housing and community centers. Sponsors include legislators from LA, MN, NH, NJ, OH, RI, WA, and WV
18 Hill Day 2018 Asks Support the Mental Health in Schools Act (S.1370/H.R.2913) 17 million youth have mental illness. One in four have SUD, but less than 35% receive treatment. The legislation builds on programs that strengthen partnerships between education and community programs like local primary health, juvenile justice and child welfare entities. Investments in early intervention programs, especially those that better connect health and education systems, should be prioritized. Sponsors include Senators Murphy (CT), Coons (DE), Durbin (IL), Heinrich (NM), and Representatives Napolitano (CA) and Katko (NY)

21 Getting Around on Capitol Hill
22 Tips and tricks for your Capitol Hill Visits
23 Preparation prior to making contact Learn about the elected officials you will be meeting: Do they support and value mental health and substance abuse treatment? What are their key issues/interests? Have they sponsored/supported any behavioral health initiatives in the past? Memorize your elevator speech We serve people in counties in your district. We employ people and bring $ into your district. Our ask is.
24 Be sure to bring Plenty of business cards Comfortable shoes to walk in For clothing, we recommend: Business casual for advocacy sessions (light sweaters/jackets recommended for cool indoor temps) Business attire for Wednesday meetings on Capitol Hill.
25 Always remember these five B s Be early Be professional Be friendly Be flexible Be respectful of staff (They are your best allies!)
26 Tips for Advanced Advocates Find something positive that your legislator has done that you can mention appreciating A great op-ed about supporting veterans with PTSD? Supporting MH coverage for kids? Great rapid-response to a recent natural disaster? Check out your social network connections Did the staffer go to the same alma mater as your CEO? Anyone on your board a donor or friend?
27 After Hill Day Follow up from your meeting with a thank you note, and any additional information that may have been requested during the meeting. Invite staff and elected officials to visit your programs/facilities. Attend in-district town hall meetings. Thank them for supporting specific pieces of legislation/funding increases. Keep them informed of issues affecting your organization.
