Mental Health First Aid Act (S www.TheNationalCouncil.org Raising Awareness of Behavioral Health & Community Treatment Resources Mental Health First Aid Act (S. 153/H.R. 274) Mental Health First Aid is a public education program that helps parents, first responders, faith leaders, and other people identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Participants learn a 5-step action plan to reach out to a person in crisis and connect them to professional, peer, or other help. The bipartisan Mental Health First Aid Act (S. 153/H.R. 274) authorizes $20 million in grants to fund Mental Health First Aid training programs around the country. Participants would be trained in: >> Recognizing the signs and symptoms of common mental illnesses and substance use disorders >> De-escalating crisis situations safely >> Initiating timely referral to mental health and substance use treatment resources available in the community Why do we need the Mental Health First Aid Act? REQUEST Each year, more than one in five Americans experiences a mental illness or substance use disorder. Yet, as a society, we remain largely unknowledgeable about the signs and symptoms, and don’t know how to help a person in need. Please cosponsor Our lack of awareness often prevents people who need treatment from getting appropriate care. While many the Mental Health Americans know how to administer First Aid and seek medical help should they come across a person having a heart attack, few are trained to provide similar help to someone experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. First Aid Act Mental Health First Aid has been shown to increase help-seeking and improve understanding of treatment. Studies have shown that Mental Health First Aid increases help provided to others, increases guidance (S. 153/H.R. 274) to professional help, and improves concordance with health professionals about treatment. We can all benefit. This bipartisan bill would offer training programs to emergency services personnel, police officers, teachers/school administrators, primary care professionals, and others – with the goal of improving Americans’ mental health and helping people who may be at risk of suicide or self-harm. Youth Mental Health First Aid has just launched, providing an ideal forum to engage communities around mental illnesses among young people – and show neighbors, teachers, parents, and caring citizens how to help a teen or young adult who is in crisis. How is this bill different from the $15 million appropriation for Mental Health First Aid in 2014? The fiscal year 2014 budget included a $15 million appropriation for Mental Health First Aid. The National Council and our Hill Day partners are grateful to Congress for this support. The Mental Health First Aid Act will help solidify the future of this funding by providing statutory authorization clearly delineating Congressional intent regarding the scope of the program. www.TheNationalCouncil.org Mental Health First Aid Act (S. 153) AK: Mark Begich (D) (Lead Sponsor) HI: Mazie K.

  • Is All Descriptive Representation Equal?: a Closer Look at Latino Representation in the U.S
    Is All Descriptive Representation Equal?: A Closer Look at Latino Representation in the U.S. House of Representatives Jennifer Garcia Graduate Student Department of Political Science University of California, Irvine [email protected] 1 Across the country, the ranks of Latinos are increasing in the Republican Party. The 2010 Midterm elections witnessed a record number of Latino Republicans elected to statewide and national office.1 Latino Republicans more than doubled in size in the U.S. House of Representatives, making up eight out of 27 Latino members in the 112th Congress. Yet, it is unknown whether their presence benefits Latinos. Although there is a general consensus among scholars that descriptive representation benefits racial and ethnic communities, it is also acknowledged that political parties significantly influence representation, at least for Blacks. Further, scholars have shown that political parties have become even more important in Congress. However, Blacks benefit from descriptive representation because Black representatives place racial and symbolic issues on the political agenda that are otherwise given little to no attention by non-Black representatives. This paper will take a closer look at the symbolic representation provided by Latino Republicans in the 112th Congress by examining bill sponsorship/co-sponsorship and floor speeches in the U.S. House of Representatives. A considerable amount of work has examined minority representation and its benefits. Some have emphasized the substantive benefits of descriptive representation by examining roll call votes, bills sponsorship/co-sponsorship, participation during committee hearings, and constituent services. Others have focused on the effect that descriptive representatives have on minority political behavior, showing that Latinos, like Blacks, are mobilized by co-ethnic candidates.2 Still others have focused on the symbolic benefits provided by descriptive representatives, finding that Black representatives provide the greatest amount of symbolic representation to Blacks (Tate 2003).
