The Coalition will also be meeting on the following dates:

The Coalition is open to all stakeholder groups, and we encourage members to participate in these efforts of joint advocacy in protecting and preserving our mental health service delivery system. If you would like to join the coalition or have any questions, please contact Jim Sharp.

The RCPA ICWC/CCBHC meeting that was originally scheduled for April 11 has been rescheduled to May 24. This is so RCPA Policy Directors and members can view the House Budget Hearings for DHS, which are scheduled April 11. The meeting time will remain the same, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm, as will the format. Please register for the meeting here, and note that if you registered for the April 11 meeting, you will need to re-register for this event.

We apologize for any inconvenience; however, the activities at the hearings are critical to our ongoing advocacy efforts. Please contact Jim Sharp if you have any questions or concerns.
