Building a relationship with your legislators is crucial. Reach out to them via phone or email and consider requesting a meeting to discuss the importance of mental health advocacy.
Another effective advocacy method is participating in public hearings at the legislative office building. These hearings provide a unique opportunity to make your voice heard by the Connecticut General Assembly. You can testify in person or virtually, or simply submit written testimony.
Be Informed
Staying informed about daily activities at the legislative office building is another crucial aspect of advocacy. Many committee meetings and public hearings are streamed on CT-N, allowing you to stay up to date.
