NAMI's core legislative policy positions remain unchanged.

With 2020, the 116th Congress will have fewer days in session than the first year of the Congress.  However, NAMI's core legislative priorities are unchanged.  They include the following legislative priorities....

Promote Innovation...
   NAMI believes innovation is vital to reduce disparities.
   We’re fighting for:
  • Integration of mental health and primary care to provide holistic treatment
  • Telehealth services that increase access
  • Research that improves our knowledge base
  • Financing models that sustain effective, patient-centered care
 Improve Care...
   NAMI believes improving mental health care is critical to achieve better outcomes.
   We’re fighting for:
  • Coordinated Specialty Care for First Episode Psychosis so that young people can experience recovery
  • Expanded coverage with patient protections and parity in Medicaid, Medicare and commercial health insurance
  • Mental health care for veterans so our service members get the help they need and deserve
  • Increased use of mental health outcome measures to hold providers accountable
 Support Recovery...
   NAMI believes supporting recovery is fundamental to reduce injustices.
   We’re fighting for:
  • Supported housing that helps people get back on their feet and engaged in treatment
  • Peer support services that help people know that recovery is possible
  • Crisis response models that provide help, not handcuffs
