SSB 6296 Concerning Involuntary Treatment (Salomon, Dhingra)
This bill died in the Senate Ways and Means Committee on February 6.

Thank you for your efforts to speak out against this measure! Education about this policy will occur during the interim. Stay tuned to ways you can be involved!

Contact your legislators Washington State!

Washington’s proposed budget currently includes funding for Recovery Navigator services — but with a 10% reduction. For many communities, even small cuts can mean fewer peers, fewer connections to treatment and housing, and fewer people getting help when they are ready.

Recovery Navigators help individuals and families navigate the behavioral health system, access life-changing resources, and build stability through peer support. These services save lives and strengthen communities across our state.

TAKE ACTION TODAY!!
Contact your state legislators and ask them to fully fund the Recovery Navigator Program and protect these essential recovery supports.

Here’s how:

1️⃣ Visit 👉 app.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder
2️⃣ Enter your address to find your legislative district
3️⃣ Click on your legislators’ names
4️⃣ Click the yellow “Email” to send them a message

Tell them why recovery support services matter to you, your family, or your community.

Your voice matters. Your story matters. Advocacy from the recovery community helps shape real policy decisions.
