Last night, millions tuned in to hear from our presidential candidates, but something crucial was missing: Mental health. Neither Donald J. Trump nor Kamala Harris touched on the mental health crisis gripping America. With rising suicide rates, substance abuse, and a generation struggling with persistent sadness and anxiety, mental health policy should be front and center. 🗣️Here are 3 questions every voter deserves answers to: 1️⃣ How will you improve access to mental health and addiction services? 2️⃣ What are your plans to prevent mental health issues by addressing social drivers like poverty, trauma, and housing instability? 3️⃣ Do you recognize the scope of our mental health crisis, and how will you lead a national response? The mental health of millions can no longer be ignored. It's time debate moderators and voters demand real solutions. Let’s keep asking WHY mental health isn’t on the agenda.
