Join us!

Be a part of our annual day of advocacy, education, and community building.

We welcome all mental health professionals who are interested in using our individual and collective voices to let the Iowa Legislature know about causes that are important to our students, providers, and most importantly, clients!

This event is no cost to participate in, we just ask that you register for our planning purposes.

If you are interested in volunteering your time and talents to the Legislative and Public Policy Committee, please contact legislativechair@imhca.net
