Advocacy
The Minnesota Psychiatric Society Legislative Committee, chaired by Michael Trangle, MD, is MPS’s voice at the State Capitol for smart, effective mental health policy. Made up of psychiatrist members from across Minnesota, the committee tracks legislation that affects psychiatric practice and access to care, educates lawmakers using real clinical expertise, and helps shape MPS’s legislative priorities each session. The committee works closely with our lobbying firm, Momentum Advocacy, to monitor bills, engage policymakers, and advance priorities that improve mental health care statewide.
The committee is always seeking new MPS members who want to stay informed and help shape policy. If you’re interested in getting involved, email Sonia at [email protected]
