On , and every day, Josselyn works to advance the conversation on equitable mental health care. Today, we were honored to host Congressman Brad Schneider for a roundtable with our clinicians and staff.

The discussion focused on how potential federal Medicaid changes may affect access to vital mental health services. Our team shared stories of clients whose lives were changed because of the care they received at Josselyn, one of few providers that accept Medicaid insurance.

We are grateful to Congressman Schneider for his continued support and advocacy in ensuring that quality mental health care remains accessible to all who need it.
