                 It's Mental Health Awareness Month, and in light of the 
pain, stress, isolation, and grief we've all experienced during the COVID-19 
pandemic, there couldn't be a more crucial time to highlight this topic. 
Millions of Americans live with mental health challenges — which is already 
difficult enough, when not compounded by rampant stigmas and 
misunderstandings that accompany such experiences. In fact, 1 in every 5 
Americans will face a mental health challenge during their lifetime. It's 
more important than ever that we increase access to treatment for anyone who 
needs it AND reduce the stigmas that often prevent people from seeking help.

                  Mental health disorders and challenges come in many 
forms — and are extremely common. These range from anxiety and depression to 
substance use to eating disorders and more. In addition to the everyday pain 
and distress these conditions cause, many of them are also deadly. For 
example, nearly 50,000 Americans die by suicide each year, making it the 
second leading cause of death for young Americans.

                  Clearly, something needs to be done. And our current 
private health insurance system is obviously not meeting these serious 
needs. Sign the petition to tell Congress that mental healthcare should be 
provided as a right — free of charge!

                  Thank you,

                         Miranda

                  P.S. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for 
young Americans, claiming nearly 50,000 lives each year. Tell Congress: good 
mental health is a right, not a privilege.
