ASK A QUESTIONAre candidates talking about mental health care? If not, get them started and ask a question. Learn where they stand on the issue you're passionate about. |
 |
MAKE A STATEMENTIf you want mental health care to be a priority for candidates, you don't have to wait to ask a question. You can make a statement. |
 |
MEET WITH CANDIDATESIf you think our country is not prioritizing mental health care and you'd like to do something about it, meet with candidates. Share our priorities and build candidate awareness. |
 |
RESPOND POSITIVELYWhen you talk with a candidate about our priorities, it’s important to be prepared. If you encounter opposition, don’t be defensive and don’t argue, respond positively. |
 |
CONNECT WITH CANDIDATESDeveloping a relationship with candidates is the best way to shift attitudes and increase support for mental health care. Stay in touch and serve as a resource. |
