Advocacy Messages
Having a consistent, memorable message is key to a successful advocacy effort. Use these messages as often as possible. Add your personal story or example that illustrates a key point. The costs of cutting the mental health care system are devastating individuals, families and our communities.
- Wisconsin's health care budget crisis is everyone's problem and its solution is everyone's responsibility.
- We must protect and strengthen our state's mental health care system.
- The costs of untreated mental illness only gets shifted elsewhere -- to emergency departments, schools, police, courts and overcrowded prisons.
