Billions in Cuts to Mental Health Reversed with Leadership by TGW Grantee Inseparable
Dear friends and supporters of The Goodness Web,
Over the past year, policy wins have been harder to come at the federal level, which is why we are heartened to share the great work of mental health advocates, including our grantee Inseparable, in helping reverse $2B in cuts to mental health funding coming from SAMHSA, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
