It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth and governors across the country are highlighting mental health as a priority, including investments in behavioral health infrastructure, workforce, and treatment.

Only a third of U.S. jails use screenings and assessments to divert people with mental health or substance use disorders, highlighting a significant missed opportunity for care.🩺

When someone facing a mental health crisis calls 911, being transferred to the @988Lifeline can get them care—while freeing up limited law enforcement resources.
But that often doesn't happen. States can help change that, our @JulieWerth notes. #988Day pew.org/4dNNyxd

Maine @GovJanetMills said in January her state is working to ensure "any person suffering a mental health crisis can get prompt and appropriate care." She's one of many governors prioritizing crisis response. ✍️ @JulieWerth pew.org/3WH9Evk #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Fentanyl is …
• 50X stronger than heroin
• 100X stronger than morphine
• A factor in many fatal drug overdoses when combined with other opioids
It's time to focus on harm reduction so we can save lives. #SOTU pew.org/33DKphN

Police are often burdened as the only ones sent to handle mental health and substance use crises—but tend to lack the resources to do so effectively.
It's time for change. #SOTU2024 #SOTU pew.org/3I0kovo

Addressing behavioral health crises is not just a matter of compassion; it's an essential investment.
Far too many people end up in jails or ERs, which are the most expensive, yet least effective, options.
Here's a better approach:

Mental health is a bipartisan issue: 90% of Americans agree that we're in a mental health crisis (via @KFF).
What can communities do?

Mental health featured in the 2023 #StateOfTheUnion and could again this year.
How can we ensure treatment is accessible?
Start by moving away from using law enforcement, jails, and ERs as the default crisis response.
Watch and see a better approach in action. #SOTU 👇

People with a mental illness are more likely to be on probation than those without.
Add substance use disorders into the mix and the disparities compared to those without widen even further.
