Subject: Support the HOPE Act – Expand Mental Health Treatment in Illinois

Dear [Representative's Name],

My name is [Your Name], and I am a resident of [Your City]. I am writing to express my strong support for the HOPE Pilot Program Act because it offers a responsible, research-backed solution to Illinois' mental health crisis.

The HOPE Act would establish a regulated psilocybin therapy pilot program, ensuring safe access to psychedelic-assisted therapy for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and anxiety.

Given the FDA's recognition of psilocybin therapy as a breakthrough treatment, I urge you to support the passage of this bill to expand mental health treatment options in Illinois.

Thank you for your time and leadership. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
