Thousands of Florida families are affected by mental illness and substance abuse each year. These families deserve access to affordable, community-based treatment services. Sadly, Florida nationally ranks 49th in mental health spending and 35th in substance abuse spending. The economic crisis in Florida has caused funding cuts, revenue losses and forced community mental health and substance abuse agencies to slash budgets and cut back on programs and services. We must protect Florida families and prevent further losses. Your support will help: • Educate legislators about the need for mental health and substance abuse programs. • Build strong relationships with legislative leaders locally and in Tallahassee. • Cultivate support to positively impact behavioral health funding decisions.
