a win for our families COVID-19 Relief Bill Passes - A Win for Our Families Good news from here in the nation’s capital as we head into the final days of 2020. This week, Congress passed a historic COVID-19 relief package that includes funding to help states provide desperately needed mental health services. Specifically, the Federal stimulus bill: Allocates $4.25B for psychiatric treatment, 10 times the amount that groups that treat mental health received in the last emergency spending bill. Includes a historic investment in emergency response and community mental services. This marks the first time in more than a half century that we have seen a new commitment of this size from the federal government. Funds local assisted outpatient treatment programs to the tune of $21M! We are glad to see Congress continuing its strong support for this vital program.

From all of us at the Treatment Advocacy Center, thank you and best wishes for a safe and healthy New Year.
