CALL TO ACTION: Mental Health Can’t Wait

Florida is facing a mental health crisis 

22 counties have no psychiatrist. Patients are waiting months for care, ending up in ERs, or going without treatment altogether.

SB 138 is the solution.

This bill expands autonomous practice for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) so care can reach patients now, especially in rural and underserved communities.

 We need YOUR voice today.

Please take a moment to contact Senator Colleen Burton and members of the Senate Health Policy Committee and urge them to hear and move SB138 forward.

 Speak up.

Florida patients cannot wait.
