Mental Health Day on the Hill

This Mental Health Day on the Hill will include MANY organizations with mental health legislative priorities. We are stronger when we work together and for the second year in a row, IMHCA will be joining a coalition for an additional day on the hill event. NAMI Iowa has brought our mental health organizations together for this hill day.

At the state capitol IMHCA strategically connects with legislators to promote our legislative agenda. We ask legislators for what we need in the field to do our best work and promote growth in the field. Please consider joining us to advocate, work as a grassroots organization, and build confidence in your ability to communicate with your legislators.

11:00 AM – 12:30 PM – Legislative 101. Held at the Community Colleges for Iowa Building (855 E. Court). Review the bills of interest, discuss how to lobby, and discuss a plan for the capitol.

12:00 PM – Lunch and continue planning if needed.

12:30 PM – 3:30 PM – Lobbying at the Capitol. Table set up on First Floor Rotunda. Meet with legislators in the second floor rotunda.
