3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill aims to improve behavioral health crisis services and suicide prevention in Maine. It seeks to make these services more accessible and of higher quality, reduce the stigma associated with mental health and substance use, and ensure behavioral health crises receive a response similar to physical health emergencies. The bill also focuses on strengthening crisis support for children, youth, and families, and officially names the 988 national suicide and crisis hotline.
