AAPP has endorsed the Mental Health Liaison Group’s FY2026 federal funding recommendations to Congress. The funding recommendations cross federal agencies with an emphasis on programs that support mental health and substance use services, training programs, and research. The document also expresses concern with the Administrations cuts in personnel and funding to the agencies tasked with addressing the mental health and substance use crises including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Under the Administration’s proposed reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services, SAMHSA would not longer be a stand-alone agency and be subsumed within the new Administration for a Health America (AHA).
