Here’s a look at what we’re doing:
President Biden’s American Rescue Plan delivered $3 billion for substance use and mental health care block grants. These funds ensure that states provide pathways to prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery services — especially for underserved communities.
The American Rescue Plan also included $420 million in funding to support Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics to expand access to high-quality, evidence-based behavioral health services.
Building on the American Rescue Plan, President Biden has requested $1 billion in funding to expand the number of school-based mental health professionals, including school psychologists and counselors to address the mental health needs of students.
We’re also building on the progress made through the 21st Century Cures Act by integrating mental health and addiction treatment into primary care settings, schools, and homes.
Our Administration is committed to ensuring that everyone knows that they are not alone, that help exists, and that we will provide the mental health support needed to heal, recover, and thrive.
