Congratulations to our 2025 Legislative Behavioral Health Champions! NAMI Washington is happy to recognize 17 legislators for their work and dedication on making meaningful, positive changes to Washington's behavioral healthcare system. From championing rural mental health, advocating for a robust crisis system and accessible, equitable mental health care to standing up for criminal justice reform, ending stigma on mental illness and improving ITA (Involuntary Treatment Act) and AOT (Assisted Outpatient Treatment), these legislators have remained committed in NAMI WAs mission towards a comprehensive behavioral healthcare system that meets the needs of every Washingtonian. A huge thank you to our 2025 Behavioral Healthcare Champions for their passion and dedication towards mental health!
