Comment on the Political Position of NCMHPC

The NCMHPC has endorsed and will continue to endorse legislation that promotes mental health and substance abuse care.  Although the NCMHPC does not endorse any specific method of delivery of care or paying for care, for example, we have endorsed legislation that provides for government expenditures for care.  We will continue to support mental health legislation when the provisions do not undermine choice, quality, access, and privacy.
