📣 Weekly Advocacy Update!
Our Advocacy Department is back with the latest policy highlights that impact mental health access in Pennsylvania. Here’s what you need to know:

1️⃣ PA State Budget Still Not Passed
The clock is ticking. Pennsylvania’s budget remains in limbo, threatening funding for essential services—including those that support individuals with mental health conditions.

2️⃣ SEPTA’s Funding on the Line
SEPTA is facing a major shortfall. If the PA legislature doesn’t act by August 24, SEPTA could lose critical state funding, impacting riders who rely on public transit for accessing care, employment, and support.

3️⃣ 988 LGBTQ+ Line Defunded
The federal government has quietly defunded a specialized support line for LGBTQ+ individuals who contact 988. This loss removes a vital, identity-affirming resource during a national mental health crisis.

At Mental Health Partnerships, we believe access to care, safe transit, and affirming support shouldn't be negotiable. Let’s raise our voices together.
