This is a big moment! The Mental Health ABC Act is now law. We can and must crush the stigma, break down barriers, increase affordability & accessibility. This law helps so many thanks to #mentalhealth advocates & leaders like @KarenSpilka @JulianCyr and @CindyFriedmanMA #mapoli

Julian Cyr @JulianCyr
