Last night, the Administration suddenly terminated an estimated $2 billion in mental health and substance use grants from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This funding was approved by Congress for mental health and substance use support across the country.

Mental health is non-partisan. It affects individuals and families regardless of politics, income, race, gender, job, or where they live. These abrupt cuts will have real and immediate consequences, impacting mental health and substance use disorder services nationwide and right here in our state.

Many of our partners rely on this funding to provide critical, life-saving programs. Ending these grants without notice disrupts care for those who need it most, strains the providers delivering services, and weakens the organizations supporting some of our most vulnerable citizens in our state.

📣 We need your help. Join us in calling for these grants to be restored so communities can continue accessing the mental health and substance use support they deserve: https://nami.quorum.us/campaign/153078/

ICYMI: NAMI Wisconsin was honored to be invited to the December bill signing at Governor Evers’ office for AB388, now Act 75, which will establish a new mental health facility in the Chippewa Valley area.

The facility will include a crisis stabilization unit, residential treatment center, partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient program, and supportive living adolescents and adults.

NAMI Wisconsin provided testimony on AB388, recommending that the facility be required to accept Medicaid and accept involuntary admissions. We are proud that these requirements were included in the bill, ensuring the facility will serve those with the greatest need.
