Advocate for Behavioral Medicine | Society of Behavioral Medicine Action Center

The Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM) is a leading multidisciplinary organization of scientists, clinicians, educators, and professionals dedicated to advancing health through behavioral medicine. Our members focus on behavior change across the lifespan and work in more than 40 specialty areas, including nutrition, cancer, chronic disease, obesity, and physical activity. Our advocacy efforts support research funding, evidence-based policy, and public health initiatives that improve lives.

Every letter is read, logged, and summarized for your representative, no matter their political party. And when enough messages come in—especially with personal stories—offices take notice.
