Substance use and mental health issues have significant impacts on individuals, families, communities, and societies. Alcohol and drug misuse and related disorders are major public health challenges that are taking an enormous toll on our society. Recently more than 27 million people in the United States reported that they are using illicit drugs or misusing prescription drugs, and nearly a quarter of adults and adolescents reported binge drinking in the past month. The annual economic impact of substance misuse is estimated to be $249 billion for alcohol misuse and $193 billion for illicit drug use. The misuse of and addiction to opioids—including prescription pain relievers, heroin, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl—have become common chronic illnesses in the U.S. Although there are effective treatments for opioid use disorder, only about one in four people with this disorder receive any type of specialty treatment.

REGISTER HERE
Curious about how to effectively share the critical challenges facing case managers with your elected officials? Wondering what it takes to participate in Capitol Hill Days or how a virtual advocacy session unfolds?
Participating in the CMSA Virtual Hill Visits program is an effective way to impact policy on Capitol Hill. Advocating for change that will positively affect your ability to improve your patient/client outcomes is critical but can be intimidating and confusing. During the CMSA Virtual Hill Visits program, participants will meet virtually with Members of Congress and/or their health policy staff from their respective areas around the county to educate them about the importance of Case Managers and the policies that impact you the most. To be effective, it is important to understand the environment, the role of legislator verses health policy staffers, your role in policy development, and how CMSA will support your efforts.
Objectives:

Explain the importance and potential outcomes of advocating for the professional practice of case management
Identify the goals of virtual Capitol Hill visits and the impact that can be made with participation
Summarize the key program components and the preparation and support provided
Construct the best approach to share policy initiatives with elected officials
