2025 Day at the Dome Wednesday, February 26; 12:15 PM - 5:00 PMWhat is Day at the Dome? Day at the Dome, held on February 26, the day before the 2025 conference begins, allows you to visit your Texas senators and representatives at the Texas Capitol with other colleagues and conferencegoers. We do this very important activity to connect with those lawmakers and inform them of our support or opposition to bills coming up in this year's legislative session. This is critical work. Having constituents stop by and voice their support or concerns can make a big difference in a politician's decisions. We will put faces to the issues, answer questions, and provide some education about our specific field of expertise and how specific bills will impact our line of work and mental health in Texas in general. With the rise of awareness concerning the importance of mental health, please consider joining us en masse for a visit to the Capitol!
