Why does behavioral health matter?
Behavioral health matters because it covers a variety of issues. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental illnesses affect a fair amount of people. It is important that those suffering do not feel like there is something wrong with getting help.
What steps should California take to increase access to care for those with mental illness and substance use challenges?
California should help increase access to care for those with mental health and substance use challenges by funding clinics and encouraging coverage in private insurance plans. Help especially for veterans is important.
How can California lead the way in destigmatizing behavioral health conditions?
California can do a lot to destigmatize behavioral health conditions through advertising and outreach.
Will you commit to embracing behavioral health as a public policy priority?
Yes I will commit to embracing behavioral health.
