Advocate for MHFA
Join the movement to expand mental health support and contribute to the well-being of all Ohioans.
Step One
Go to the "Contact" tab and find the information you need to reach out to your representatives by email, mail, phone or request a meeting.
Step Two
Think about why you support MHFA for your family, workplace and community. Open the MHFA Fact Sheet to see what we are asking for and why MHFA makes good sense.
Step Three
Use the template below and send an email, letter or leave a voice mail asking your rep to include MHFA as a "budget priority." Invite them to our Pies and Policy Legislative Event on Wednesday, January 29, 2025.
If need be, refer questions back to the MHFA Collaborative.
Pies and Policy Day with the Ohio Legislature
“I enjoyed meeting and talking with our Ohio legislators, their staff, and the others working in the Statehouse. Many had personal stories about family or friends with mental health struggles, and all seemed to appreciate the importance of prevention such as Mental Health First Aid. And who doesn't appreciate a piece of pie to brighten the end of a long day?”
-Megan, University of Toledo
