Dear Friends,
On April 16, 2024, the Ways and Means Committee of Massachusetts' House of Representatives released its proposed state budget for Fiscal Year 2026. We need your help to make MHAP for Kids a funding priority.
Representative John J. Lawn, Jr. is sponsoring Amendment #839 to allocate $3,300,000 to sustain MHAP for Kids, a statewide program that continues to have a tremendously positive impact on children's mental health.
Please call your representative (find your state representative here) and urge them to co-sponsor Amendment #839 with Rep. Lawn!
You can say something like this:
My name is ____ and I'm a constituent of Rep. ____. I'm calling to urge the Representative to co-sponsor Rep. Lawn's Amendment #839 to allocate $3,300,000 for the Mental Health Advocacy Program for Kids, which supports kids' access to mental health services that prevent involvement in the juvenile court. Thank you.
Thank you for your support and action. With your help, this innovative, cost-effective, and highly successful program will continue.
If you have any questions, please contact Marisol Garcia at 617.275.2917 or mgarcia@hla-inc.org.
