Organized by

The ​Mental ​Health ​America ​(MHA) ​Regional ​Policy ​Council ​(RPC) ​cultivates ​a ​constructive ​partnership ​with ​its ​affiliate ​field, ​state ​policy ​leaders, ​and ​other ​mental ​health ​stakeholders ​working ​together ​to ​initiate, ​advocate ​for, ​and ​implement ​federal ​and ​state ​policies ​that ​positively ​affect ​children, youth, and adults ​living ​with ​mental ​health ​and ​substance ​use ​conditions.

In 2009 MHA established the RPC to work with MHA's Public Policy and Advocacy Department to achieve these policy goals in a coordinated and effective manner. The RPC is comprised of MHA's most knowledgeable affiliate public policy , advocacy, and executive directors.

Many of the issues facing mental health treatment infrastructure and adequacy are related to implementation of federal laws, or are state level issues that are common across the states. Each state faces challenges related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Medicaid Expansion, the Mental Health Parity and Equity Act (MHPAEA), integration of behavioral health services, workforce adequacy, access to community-based services and supports, and the use of peers.

The RPC forms a nationwide movement toward a robust mental health system that promotes prevention and early intervention initiatives, access to integrated community-based treatments, and supports that are recovery-focused and that encompass community inclusion.
