Legislative Advocacy

Federal

CCCMHA coordinates policies and strategies on mental health issues representing mental health service providers in a wide variety of California communities. CCCMHA provides input on developing federal legislation and regulatory proposals, and participates in forming national positions on important mental health issues.

State

CCMHA provides representation and advocacy at the state level by effectively lobbying the state Legislature, and establishing close working relationships with state agency officials and regulatory representatives. CCCMHA influences public policy development through both legislative and regulatory advocacy efforts.

Local

CCCMHA's state and federal representation and advocacy program is supported by grassroots efforts. Regional activities, such as hosting legislators and meeting with local officials, are critical to developing and maintaining a unified voice for legislative and regulatory action.
