New national coalition mobilizes to defend rights, services in MH, recovery
Abstract
A new national coalition of recovery leaders, advocates and activists has formed in response to the Trump administration's recent freeze — and then reinstatement — of nearly 2,000 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grants, representing more than $2 billion in critical funding. The group, comprising more than 40 leaders from across the country, including mental health and substance use leaders, convened in January in Massachusetts to develop a coordinated strategy aimed at safeguarding civil and human rights while protecting access to essential mental health and substance use services.
