Where Will You Be in June?

Dear [Name],

Where will you be in June?

I’d like to invite you to join me at the National Council’s Hill Day, to be held June 6-7 in Washington, D.C. Hill Day is the biggest behavioral health advocacy event of the year, where hundreds of stakeholders join together in our mission to serve people living with mental illness and addictions by urging Congress to support our work. Hill Day is held in partnership with 10 other national organizations: NAMI, Mental Health America, Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, International Bipolar Foundation, Legal Action Center, Association for Behavioral Health and Wellness, Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association, Hazelden Betty Ford Institute for Recovery Advocacy, NAADAC, the Association for Addictions Professionals and Faces & Voices of Recovery.

I am serving as [state name]’s State Captain for Hill Day, and I’ll be keeping our delegation organized and providing you with regular updates. At Hill Day, you will:

· Gain special insights into the legislative process, with updates from political journalists and national health care experts

· Meet with your Members of Congress and their staff to speak up for our field’s priorities

· Network with other advocates from your state

· Have fun!

Will you join us at Hill Day 2016? Registration is free! If you haven’t registered already, click here to register and book your hotel room.

Thank you for all that you do to advance mental health and addictions care. I hope to see you at Hill Day!

Sincerely,

[Name]
