🚨 WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?! 🚨
Trump cancelled nearly $2 BILLION in federal grants that fund mental health care, addiction treatment, overdose prevention, peer support, su***de prevention, and more - literally pulling the rug out from under the organizations that actually help people heal.
This is not a “budget tweak.”
This is dangerous, brutal, and cruel.
We finally started seeing progress on overdose deaths - with a 21 % drop in overdose fatalities in 2025 alone - and now we’re gutting the very services that made that possible. 🤦🏼♀️
👉 Nearly 2,800 grants were abruptly terminated - that’s about 25% of the agency’s entire behavioral health budget - leaving clinics scrambling, staff laid off, and treatment options vanishing overnight.
👉 Millions of Americans - the 1 in 6 adults with a substance use disorder, and more than 60 million adults with any mental illness - now face less access, fewer beds, and fewer resources just when they need them most.
👉 Only a fraction of people with addiction even get treatment in the first place. Before these cuts, just about 12.8 million out of 54 million people needing treatment got it - and that was ALREADY unacceptable.
We are beyond pi**ed.
This is not policy. This is abandonment of sick, struggling, hurting people.
If you believe in access to treatment - not punishment -
If you think mental health care shouldn’t be a lifeline ripped away,
Then raise your voice, share this, and hold leaders accountable.
🤬💔🔥
I’ve started a petition to protect mental health and addiction funding.
If you support access to care, I’m asking for your signature and share.
This movement is called Butterflies For Change - and every voice matters!!! 🦋💜
