Supporting Mental Health Policies and Practices through the American Rescue Plan
In March 2021, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which included much-needed federal investments and opportunities to advance mental health policies and resources at the state and local level.

This brief offers a set of principles policymakers and other stakeholders can consider as they implement ARPA’s mental health provisions.
