when mental health gets 0.04 percent of the CARES Act funding, it says a lot about where mental health is in this country.
cutting states' critical funding at a time when they are needed most is wrong.
We have so underfunded this system for so long, why is it a big surprise that we don't have enough providers in the field?
We have got to address the stigma, and we have got to put the resources behind these efforts.
