The Hope & Continuum of Care Act

The Hope & Continuum of Care Act  is a citizen-led policy reform initiative designed to repair the cracks in our broken mental health system. Authored by advocate and caregiver Kelly Gene Mullis, this proposal outlines real, actionable solutions—centered on compassion, continuity, and common sense.The Act calls for legislative change across six urgent areas: from reforming the Baker Act and modernizing HIPAA, to recognizing mental health facilities as essential infrastructure and creating secure care pathways for those at risk.This is more than a policy. It’s a plea—for families, providers, first responders, and especially for those silently suffering.It’s time we listen, act, and build a system that doesn’t just respond in crisis—but walks with people toward healing.
