Inseparable fights for a future where mental health policy, no longer an afterthought, helps our country thrive. Together, we will empower Americans from every town, city, and home to better care for one another by demanding and winning policy that better cares for us all.
There are a lot of problems that need to be addressed, but for us, three urgent policy priorities rise to the top:
In all three areas, the need is urgent, people are ready for action, and strategic leadership and courageous decision making will save lives in the future. Here’s how we work together to advance policies and drive initiatives that will ultimately improve and save lives.
Ensure every school has services to provide for the health and well-being of all students.
Inseparable has expanded school-based mental health care for children and youth in Alabama, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Montana, New Jersey, Washington, and is just getting started.
Eliminate the gap between the number of people who need help and the people who get help. Inseparable expanded insurance coverage for people suffering from mental health in Illinois.
We are advocating for increased access to mental health care. States should:
Mental Health Now is an initiative of Inseparable, an advocacy campaign working to ensure that mental health is at the forefront of policy in this nation. Mental Health Now recognizes candidates who commit to prioritizing mental health policy. In 2022, more than 630 candidates and elected officials, from every state in the country, signed the Mental Health Now statement of support.
Ensure a better response to mental health crisis and stop criminalizing mental illness. Too many of us are left desperate, struggling, in crisis, and often with nowhere to turn. Let’s advocate for federal standards for crisis response; coverage of behavioral health crisis services; Funding for the development of crisis services in communities across the country; and coordination among 911 dispatchers and 988 crisis call centers.
Inseparable is building grassroots and political power to make better mental health policy a reality — here’s how you can help.
We are taking urgent action to prevent more people from needlessly suffering because better caring for each other means demanding mental health policy that better cares for all of us.
Will you join us in our movement to finally bring accessible and affordable mental health care to everyone?
Too many people are struggling to navigate an under-resourced, fragile system for the lifesaving support they need. We are taking urgent action to prevent more people from needlessly suffering because better caring for each other means demanding mental health policy that better cares for all of us.
The mental health support our country needs to heal and move forward is in alarmingly short supply — help us change the mental health care system together.
The results are in! 🗳️ Voters care about mental health. Voters want solutions. Voters want those elected to lead.

Today is International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day—a reminder to reach out to and hold space for those who are affected by suicide loss. 💚 For every suicide death, six or more people endure the grief, facing isolation and increased suicide risk.
Experiencing a loss by suicide can be isolating. On #InternationalSurvivorsofSuicideLossDay, remember there`s support. Sharing your story and speaking out with survivors who know that pain all too well can be healing. Check @afspnational for resources —link in profile. 💙 #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth
Today, on Veterans Day, we aim to not only honor those who have served our country but also advocate for how we can better serve them and support their mental health.
Many of us are aware that veterans are particularly affected by mental health struggles, and staggering statistics like this are far too common. The challenges they face in accessing care are a disheartening reflection of our broken system.
But there’s hope. Today, and always, we must advocate for veterans and champion policies to improve these systems so that those who need help have no trouble accessing it.

Ghosts are for Halloween—they don`t belong in health insurance directories.
While spooky thrills bring joy during this season, the sentiment doesn`t extend to "ghost networks"—they persist throughout the year, causing frustration and inconvenience.
In some states upwards of 2 out of 3 mental health professionals are "phantom providers," which can make taking care of your mental health feel impossible when it should be easy.
Especially, when we`re constantly telling people that if they`re struggling they should seek help.
