Devastation after devastation during these 2 years. With all the increased stress and loss of resources, here is another devastating loss. I saw so many hard working and effective mental health care and equity workers lose their jobs or programs close due to funding cuts related to DEI. Here we go again. This is so dangerous for us as a society. My heart goes out to all the workers who are supporting our community and all the community members who are losing support.
The Trump administration sent hundreds of letters Tuesday terminating federal grants supporting mental health and drug addiction services. The cuts could total as much as $2 billion.
