Expand affordable mental health services, integrate behavioral healthcare into primary care, and prioritize prevention over crisis-only response.
Mental health is essential to overall well-being, yet services remain inaccessible, unaffordable, or fragmented. Many people go without care until crises occur, worsening outcomes and placing unnecessary burdens on families and communities. Preventative and integrated care is critical for health, productivity, and happiness.\n\nI support expanding affordable mental health services, integrating behavioral health into primary care, and emphasizing prevention. Everyone deserves access to treatment, counseling, and support networks that help them thrive. Prioritizing mental health strengthens individuals, families, and the communities in which they live.
