Mental health advocates and the general public at large stand poised to take action and urge their elected representatives for emergency funding for community behavioral health organizations faced with program closures and other challenges during this pandemic. Mental Health America (MHA) sponsored a virtual Hill Day May 11, which sought to establish the case for increased mental health funding as a key component of any upcoming COVID‐19 emergency relief legislation.
