SOCIAL MEDIA Week 3

Themes: Meeting the Mental Health Pandemic, Racial Equity, and Keeping the Promise.

Theme 1: Keeping the Promise

1.        The value of #PeerSupportSpecalists in #BehavioralHealth treatment is backed by research and outcomes. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom, signing #SB803 keeps CA moving toward your vision for nation-leading mental health services. #PeersSaveLives

2.        #COVID19 forced many #BehavioralHealth initiatives to be put on hold – including the CalAIM process.  But by signing #SB803 to certify #PeerSupportSpecialists, @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom can keep CA moving toward his vision. #PeersSaveLives

3.        Due to recent amendments, #SB803 comes at virtually no cost to the state, especially considering the return on investment. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom, make good on your promise to #BehavioralHealth by certifying #PeerSupportSpecalists in Medi-Cal. Sign this bill! #PeersSaveLives

Theme 2: Racial Equity

1.        Diversity is a strength for our #BehavioralHealth workforce - that’s why we urge @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom to SIGN #SB803 to deploy #PeerSupportSpecialists who share the background and experience of #MentalHealth & #SubstanceUse recovery clients. #PeersSaveLives

2.        #PeerSupportSpecalists play a critical role in providing engaging, culturally competent, age-appropriate care to youth of color who have unique #BehavioralHealth concerns.  Stand with us to support marginalized youth @CAgov @GavinNewsom, sign #SB803 TODAY! https://tinyurl.com/y5gcghvf #PeersSaveLives

3.        CA cannot afford to underutilize the unique role of #PeerSupportSpecialists in #BehavioralHealth programs. With #SB803 we can diversify our workforce & clients can turn to those who share their background & experience. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom, sign #SB803 today. #PeersSaveLives.  

Theme 3: Meeting the Mental Health Pandemic

1.        A strong #BehavioralHealth workforce WILL be needed during and after the #COVID19 crisis. #SB803(@Jimbealljr) will validate and recognize #PeerSupportSpecalists as an essential part of that workforce. We unite to urge @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom to SIGN THIS BILL. #PeersSaveLives

2.        With #SB803(@Jimbealljr), California can finally engage #PeerSupportSpecalists to meet #BehavioralHealth needs through Medi-Cal, just in time to help CA with the the aftermath of the  #COVID19 pandemic. We strongly urge @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom to swiftly sign this bill. #PeersSaveLives

3.        During this time of crisis, #SB803(@Jimbealljr) would establish #PeerSupportSpecalists as an essential tool for #BehavioralHealth recovery as needs across the state rise. It is essential, now more than ever, that @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom sign this bill NOW! #PeersSaveLives

4.        As we grapple with #COVID19, we must get ready for what comes next: a #BehavioralHealth pandemic resulting from isolation, uncertainty, & despair CAs are facing.

a.        To flatten this next curve, CA must scale up our use of proven #PeerSupportSpecalists. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom please sign #SB803 now! #PeersSaveLives
