Candidate Forums re Behavioral Health Issues-Live on YouTube,etc

Denver, CO
The Colorado Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses

See update below from Mental Health Colorado re Candidate Forums co-sponsored by CAPPN.

We're teaming up with six other nonpartisan organizations to host a series of candidate forums, beginning in Lakewood tomorrow night and continuing in Aurora, Denver, and Colorado Springs. Meet the men and women who seek to represent you in the state legislature, hear their views on mental health policy, and share your own.

Can't make it in person? No worries -- you can watch live on YouTube (Lakewood, Aurora, Denver, Colorado Springs). We'll also post the videos on our website later this month.

While the forums are limited to four locations, we surveyed every legislative candidate in Colorado. The topics ranged from insurance coverage to the criminal justice system. Read the responses at the website here or download pdf attached above.

We received replies from 45 percent of the candidates we surveyed. If your candidate didn't respond, please urge him or her to do so click here.

We're fighting every day for the prevention and treatment of mental health and substance use disorders. If that cause matters to you, it ought to matter to your representatives too.
Sincerely,

Andrew Romanoff
President and CEO
