I am energized by the discussions we had, and I look forward to continuing the work together with SAMHSA, local leaders, and members of our community to ensure more Americans can get the care and treatment they deserve. (5/5)

Community health centers like the ones we visited in #McMinnville are on the frontlines of the mental health and addiction crisis. We must provide them with more resources and support from our federal government if we hope to make progress. (4/5)

We then visited the Student-Based Health Center at McMinnville High School, which supports the health and well-being of students and young people, and held a roundtable with local stakeholders. (3/5)

We started at the Yamhill County Community Based Health Center and Youth Services Facility. Deputy Coderre and I heard firsthand about the vital work they are doing to provide quality mental and physical health care for Oregonians, regardless of insurance status. (2/5)

I was honored to host SAMHSA Deputy Tom Coderre in #OR06 yesterday to highlight our shared mission to improve access to behavioral health services.

Here’s a quick recap of everything we did. ⬇️🧵(1/5)

We applaud President Biden The White House on the recent launch of the White House Challenge to Save Lives from Overdose. This Challenge builds on SAMHSA’s ongoing efforts to expand access to naloxone & other life-saving opioid overdose reversal medications. Learn more whitehouse.gov/savelivesfromo…

We can all play a role in saving lives from an increasingly poisonous drug supply. Thank you President Biden for making more resources available for our families, friends, workplaces and communities. cnn.com/2024/03/13/hea…

Today is #WorldTeenMentalWellnessDay & is intended to raise awareness about the mental health challenges that teens face. SAMHSA supports efforts to promote mental health & substance use prevention, treatment & recovery services in schools & on campuses: samhsa.gov/school-campus-…

During #BlackHistoryMonth , SAMHSA is committed to addressing the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide within black communities and to help provide mental health services to those in need. samhsa.gov/behavioral-hea…

This week we announced:

✅ Historic updates to Opioid Treatment Program regulations
✅ Grant funds to be used to purchase xylazine test strips
✅ Updated Overdose Prevention & Response Toolkit

President Biden is delivering on his promise to address the overdose epidemic and save lives.

Expanding access to treatment is at the heart of the HHS.gov Overdose Prevention Strategy. Prevention, Harm Reduction and Recovery are also important pillars of the work. This remains an all hands on deck effort and SAMHSA remains committed to it. cnn.com/2024/02/01/hea…

The overdose crisis is one of the greatest public health challenges of our time.

I met four youth leaders with CADCA who shared with me how this crisis has impacted their lives & the work they're doing in their communities.

We'll use every lever available to beat this crisis.

Honored to join Deputy Secretary Palm today in Philly. SAMHSA is working hard to advance the HHS.gov Overdose Prevention Strategy and appreciates community partners like BWC @ Girard who are saving lives, inspiring hope and transforming lives!
