Our Behavioral Health Clinic team recently trained 42 first responders from the @AddisonFPD on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Thanks to their incredible engagement and the Addison Township 708 Mental Health Board for the grant that made it happen!
As an "active, intelligent, and athletic teenager," an unexpected illness changed Joe's life. Now a senior citizen with disabilities, he relies on #Medicaid for stability and comfort. Protect American seniors! Tell Congress to vote NO: bit.ly/3I45yIr
Emily’s parents worry about “who will care for her after we pass away?”
🇺🇸 In the USA, #Medicaid is the answer. It makes Emily's life full and gives her family peace of mind. Tell Congress to protect people with I/DD and vote NO on a $1T cut: bit.ly/3I45yIr
For Gregory’s family, getting #Medicaid support felt like “winning the lottery.” It funds his day program—his social lifeline. Now, a bill proposing a $1T cut threatens his future. #MedicaidMatters to families like Gregory's. Tell Congress to vote NO: bit.ly/3I45yIr
For retired parents like Teri, Medicaid isn't just a line item—it's the safety net that prevents bankruptcy while caring for her adult daughter, Kacki. How can we protect Americans with disabilities and their families? Saving #Medicaid is the answer.
For a 25-year-old with autism like Terrence, independence means access to day programs, therapies, & medication. For his single mom, that access depends on Medicaid. Protecting #Medicaid is about protecting a young man’s future.
For the nearly 2,000 people and families we partner with, these services are a lifeline, not a line item. Please take a moment to tell Congress No #Medicaid Cuts!
