Mental Health Advocacy Day at the Capitol

Join fellow consumers, family members, providers and advocates for a chance to become better informed about mental health policy issues in the Kansas legislature and to educate your legislators about the issues of the day.

Please make appointments now with your Representative and Senator to meet with them when you come to Topeka.

They need to hear your perspective and concerns about mental health program budgets and policy issues.
