Florida Now Spends Less Per Capita for Mental Health Than It Did in the 1950s.

NAMI St. Petersburg

We still rank at the bottom of the list for per capita spending for behavioral health care.

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?

  • Call, e-mail or write your legislators to advocate for community mental health.
  • Tell them Florida can’t afford short-sighted and dangerous reductions to essential treatment and support services.
  • Encourage them to increase funding levels for community-based mental health and substance abuse services.
  • Tell them if increases are not possible, they should at least maintain current funding levels.

NO FUNDING CUTS FOR COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH
