‘Tis the Season
for Giving
The Fall marks
the beginning of most workplace giving campaigns. ADAA is pleased to
participate nationwide via the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). The
CFC reaches those who work in the federal government and military.
State and local government employees may also participate through
state campaigns. All contributions help the ADAA advance research,
provide critical educational resources and continue to connect those
who suffer from anxiety disorders with the help that is available.
In addition to the CFC, many independent corporations also hold
workplace giving campaigns during the fall and winter months. Be
sure to select ADAA as your charity of choice. ADAA is grateful to
our past supporters, and hope you and others will continue to choose
ADAA.
If your
organization is not part of the CFC, you can still help ADAA!
Write in ADAA as your charity of choice if applicable on your
workplace giving campaign or you can donate directly online.
Help ADAA Voice
the Need for Mental Health Parity
As part of the
Mental
Health Liasion Group, ADAA is among numerous organizations that
are teaming together to renew a national push for Congress to pass
mental health parity legislation (H.R. 1402). ADAA encourages you to
take action to help this objective, by calling 1-866-parity4
(1-866-727-4894), to call your Representative to urge cosponsorship
of the new House mental health parity legislation.
