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:
We need more mental health champions in elected leadership. As part of our Mental Health Now campaign, more than 630 candidates and elected officials, from every state in the country and 10 gubernatorial candidates, signed the Mental Health Now statement of support in 2022.
As Congress, State Legislatures, and City and County Councils convene, we are working with these bipartisan leaders to win better mental health policy.
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.
We`re often reminded of the importance of prioritizing our mental health, but taking that step can feel like an uphill battle.
You shouldn`t have to fight for access to mental health care.
These insurance problems had consequences: 17% of patients were prevented from receiving care recommended by their medical provider and 15% experienced a decline in their health.
#MentalHealthIsHealth #MentalHealthPolicyMatters
📢 It`s time to demand that mental health is treated as just that — health!
We need your help: The Biden administration proposed new rules to close loopholes that currently allow insurers to deny mental health care. Insurance companies want to have these rules struck down. To counter their lobbying, we need to submit as many comments as possible to lawmakers by October 2nd.

#MentalHealthPolicyMatters #ParityNow
Suicide prevention goes beyond immediate crisis response—it`s a multi-layered effort that includes factors like access to healthcare, stable housing, coping skills taught in early education, connection to others and much more.
#suicideprevention is complex and gives each of us an opportunity to play a powerful role by bringing our unique strengths to the fight against suicide. Together, we can make a difference.
#suicidepreventionmonth #mentalhealthishealth
On #SuicidePreventionDay, we want to shine a light on everyday suicide prevention methods. Policies matter, but it starts with individuals feeling seen and supported within their community to seek help.
“A Reason To Live” is a mental health project that encourages individuals through an interactive installation to share their `reason to live,` either by writing it on a post-it note in person at the community exhibit or by submitting it through their site for inclusion in an upcoming installation.
