In a Crisis, Every Florida Family Deserves a Place to Turn. (5000 Friends of Florida Families Coalition)

Every day, mental illness and addictions affect thousands of families across Florida. All of these families deserve a place to turn in a crisis. However, affordable treatment of mental illness and addictions is not within every family's reach. Sadly, Florida has not met its responsibility to Florida's families.

Florida has a responsibility to ensure that every family has a place to turn.

By funding Florida's responsibility for community mental health and addiction services, the Legislature can clearly declare its commitment to our children, elderly and working poor. Community based mental health and addiction services are a critical part of our statewide health care system. Now is the time to better fund mental health and addiction services, not after an emergency has occurred.
