In 2019, more than 20% of Minnesotan adults reported having a mental illness.\n\nThat needs to change. I am committed to increasing access to mental health services and eliminating the stigma around treatment. As your Representative for the Sixth District of Minnesota, I have:\n\nIntroduced the Expanding Access to Inpatient Mental Health Act, which would eliminate a 15-day treatment cap that has limited access to mental health treatment for many Americans\n\nIntroduced the Pregnancy Loss Research and Care Act, which directs the National Institutes of Health to coordinate with other national research institutes to determine what mental health care may be needed for individuals who have experienced pregnancy loss\n\nLed a letter to the House Appropriations Committee urging continued support for key rural mental health initiatives\n\nCosponsored legislation to make the number 9-8-8 the dialing code to route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. This bill became law, and the code will become available nationwide on July 16, 2022.\n\nIn addition to advocating for mental health access in Congress, we must raise awareness about the resources already available to Minnesotans. Some mental illnesses can be managed through healthy practices and prevention.
