This past weekend, CHEARR members attended the CPA Annual Meeting in Providence, RI! The focus on 'Pathways to sustained recovery' sparked inspiring conversations. We’re especially proud of two impactful poster presentations, including one from our first-time presenter, Fatima Khan! 🌟

The entire National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) team at SAMHSA was terminated today.

Do not listen to the platitudes of this administration when they say they care about drug overdose, addiction, mental health, or suicide.

Do you know why Americans are angry?

Over the last 50 years, real weekly wages have been stagnant. 

At the same time, there was a $79 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the to the top 1%.

We need an economy that works for all, not just billionaires.
