Patrick J. Kennedy: “That air does not belong to anyone. It belongs to all of us.”

I want to thank the Biden Administration. They’ve put teeth into the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act.

When we have an emergency, FEMA comes in. They've got housing, job opportunities, support of this and that. We need a strategy that understands that housing is critical to address the homeless epidemic of people with severe mental illness…

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?

This is why it is time to pass the Telemental Health Expansion Act which I introduced, as I mentioned, with Congresswoman Doris Matsui.
