Across the country, patients and psychiatrists are feeling the impact of federal policy changes on access to mental-health and substance-use treatment. From reduced program funding to new restrictions on care, these decisions affect real people every day.
We’re collecting stories to help illustrate how these policies shape lives, care delivery, and community well-being. Your experience can help policymakers, journalists, and the public understand the human consequences behind policy decisions.
