About the Event
Join us for a highly anticipated educational forum on Proposition 1, the Behavioral Health Services Act, covering the transformation of mental health services. Prop. 1 will be on the California ballot on March 5th.Â
This 30-minute event will provide our nurse members and the general public an opportunity to listen to an informative dialogue from our subject matter experts as they explore the potential impacts of Proposition 1's proposed changes to our mental health system services and programs. The discussion will focus specifically on how vulnerable populations will be affected, such as those experiencing substance use disorders, serious mental illness, and veteran and unhoused populations.
ANA\C aims to answer key questions so you feel empowered to make an informed decision as voting citizens. We encourage attendees to bring their policy concerns and additional perspectives to help drive a thoughtful, solutions-oriented conversation within the time available. Please join us for this short nonpartisan forum.
