Join us for the 10th Annual Mental Health Advocacy Day on January 29th from 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. at the Statehouse and the Vermont Supreme Courthouse Auditorium. Hundreds of mental health advocates and over 50 co-sponsoring organizations and their network will be calling on Vermont leaders and legislators to support the mental health of Vermonters. Our key theme is “Hope Starts Here – Prioritize, Invest, and Connect for Mental Wellness”.
You can join the morning program either virtually or in-person at the Vermont Supreme Courthouse Auditorium from 9 am-12 pm. The agenda includes a welcome address from state leaders, a legislative panel discussion, advocacy awards, and advocates sharing their lived experience stories of recovery and hope. ASL Interpreters will be available.
In the afternoon, events will continue at the Statehouse where attendees will meet with legislators, provide testimony to committees, and be recognized by the House of Representatives with a Resolution. Mental Health Advocates will be at the Statehouse Card Room on January 29th, allowing for an opportunity to meet and greet legislators! Please contact Laurie Emerson if you would like to be a co-sponsor of the event at lemerson@namivt.org.
