Tuesday March 28, Faith leaders from Faith in St. Joseph County and Faith in Northwest Indiana, will meet with legislative leaders at the Capitol, before holding a press conference to demand full funding for mental health crisis response.

The two groups, as local chapters of Faith in Indiana, will also make leaders available by phone to speak with the press both before and after the press availability.  To speak with leaders from St. Joseph County, contact Rev. Andre Stoner at 574-220-6629 or andre@faithindiana.org.  To schedule time to speak with leaders from Lake County, contact Robin Rich at 219-743-0624 or rich7310@comcast.net

The visit to legislative leaders is the latest in a series of visits from Faith in Indiana chapters and follows last month’s kickoff rally as Faith in Indiana brought together over 800 community leaders to demand full funding for mental health crisis response.
