Welcome to the Virtual Event

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we work, but we must not let it interrupt our work. Mental health and addictions treatment organizations need our continued support now more than ever.

That is why this year we are proud to partner with more than 25 national advocacy organizations to bring you Hill Day At Home! We’re still rallying. We’re still moving ahead together. And we’re still bringing our field’s most important issues to Congress.

As we go virtual this year, we need YOU-our friends in the field-to be right there with us as always.

The National Council’s Hill Day is the largest behavioral health advocacy event of the year. Held in partnership with more than 25 national mental health and addiction treatment organizations, Hill Day gathers hundreds of behavioral health providers, C-suite level executives, board members, consumers and community stakeholders for sessions and workshops on federal behavioral health policy. After these sessions, Hill Day attendees take their message to Capitol Hill to advocate for better resources for mental health and addictions treatment in their communities. Learn more about Hill Day here.
