The National Council is committed to keeping mental health and addictions at forefront of the national healthcare agenda. Email us with your thoughts and ideas on how we can continue to make this happen as the presidential election draws closer.

The National Council is also an active partner in the Whole Health Campaign, a collaborative of more than 70 organizations that seek to make mental illness and addictions a priority for both presidential candidates and their parties. WHC volunteers will staff the convention's first-ever Wellness Room, which will provide peer-support meetings and other recovery support to delegates, guests, and staff. The WHC will also host the first Recovery Caucus meeting in Democratic Party history, highlighting the party platform's commitments to addressing addiction and mental disorders.
