Each year the Behavioral Health Services Coalition, a group of advocates supporting behavioral health in Georgia, comes together to organize the Mental Health Day at the Capitol. Anyone whose life is impacted by mental health concerns is welcome including: people in recovery, families, political leaders, service providers, community support organizations, faith leaders, law enforcement, first responders, other advocates, and anyone else who wants to support behavioral health in their communities.

About the Behavioral Health Coalition
The Behavioral Health Services Coalition is a public/private mental health collaboration of individuals and organizations across Georgia which educates and shares information among our members, the public, and policy-makers; and, coordinates advocacy. We believe the mental health of all Georgians is assured by the enhancement of protective factors, the reduction of risk factors, and early intervention at the first sign of symptoms. All Georgians who need mental health care benefit from high quality, evidence-based, culturally-sensitive supports, services, and treatment.
