The Biden administration has announced an injection of $200 million to 'scale up' national mental health resources in the U.S.
Thursday the White House announced hundreds of millions of dollars in new funding to expand, improve and support mental health services across the country.
$200 million in new funds will be allocated to improve the nation's 988 suicide and crisis lifeline, along with other resources for school-based mental health. Other initiatives will enhance crisis response, so young people experiencing crisis will get faster access to trained health care professionals. The administration wants to reduce disparities in postpartum mental health outcomes for women from underserved backgrounds. The administration has also launched FindSupport.gov, a free public website where Americans can connect with resources and help to address mental health, drug and alcohol issues.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that in 2021 it found that two in five adults in the U.S. reported symptoms of anxiety and depression, with 44 percent of high school students reporting having struggled with persistent feelings of sadness.
