NAMI Slams HHS Plan to Cut Mental Health Funding

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has expressed deep concern over the US Department of Health and Human Services' plan to reorganize the agency, reduce staff by 25%, and make major changes to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). NAMI CEO Daniel H. Gillison, Jr., and Chief Advocacy Officer Hannah Wesolowski, warn that such drastic changes could disrupt lifesaving resources and hinder progress in addressing mental health crises. The agency, which oversees nearly $7 billion in grants for mental illness treatment, has contributed to a 24% decrease in overdose deaths last year and the successful launch of the 988 Lifeline.
