The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act significantly expands funding for community mental health services. The demonstrated results of our clients and CCBHCs nationwide made it possible.
"This new law will forever change how people access mental health and substance use treatment in their communities."
- Chuck Ingoglia, President and CEO of the National Council for Mental Wellbeing
In a recent study* on the impact of the CCBHC demonstration program, results included:
Substantially improved access to care and additional services for those with a serious mental illness and/or substance use disorder, a historically underserved population
Increased access to and integration between physical and behavioral health, substance use screening, crisis response, peer support and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) services
Ability for participating organizations to recruit and retain clinical staff, data analysts and peer workers
