The U.S. continues to navigate a mental health, overdose, and suicide crisis. NAMI is deeply concerned about the Administration’s proposed changes to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which could have disastrous implications for the tens of millions of Americans affected by mental illness. NAMI urges our nation’s leaders to continue the bipartisan progress we’ve made to help people affected by mental illness and ensure that dedicated HHS and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) staff can continue their critical work during a time when it is desperately needed. https://bit.ly/4hO7Pnq
