ALS Professor Patrick Wildes in STAT

More than one in five Americans struggle with mental illness, and over 87,000 lives were lost to drug overdoses last year. Yet, the federal agency tasked with addressing mental health and substance use is facing dangerous cuts to funding and staff, with potentially devastating consequences. In a recent op-ed for STAT News, Patrick Wildes, Director of Albany Law School’s Government Law Center, warns that these cuts will jeopardize vital services. Drawing from his experience as the former Assistant Secretary for Human Services and Mental Hygiene in New York State, Wildes stresses the urgent need to protect our most vulnerable communities.
