NAMI & our partners are incredibly disheartened by the proposal to eliminate SAMHSA as we know it, as well as drastically reduce spending or eliminate SAMHSA programs. We hope Congress continues its bipartisan focus to address our country's MH needs. nami.org/wp-content/upl…

As a NAMI ambassador, I want every person to be able to access the mental health care they need. I’m worried by proposed cuts to Medicaid — a lifeline for 1 in 3 people with mental illness. I urge Congress to #ProtectMedicaid

LGBTQ+ youth are 4x more likely to attempt suicide than their peers, which is why the decision to eliminate 988's specialized line for LGBTQ+ youth is so troubling. 📢 Tell Congress to protect these important services for LGBTQ+ youth: nami.quorum.us/campaign/13165…

The Senate passed a budget reconciliation bill that includes deep, damaging cuts to Medicaid. Now it goes back to the House. This could be the final chance to reject these cuts before it goes to the President. Tell your Rep: vote no on cuts to Medicaid: nami.quorum.us/campaign/13214…
