From SAMHSA's Weekly Financing News Pulse: National Edition - April 1, 2011:
On March 30, the U.S. Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) released Leading
Change: A Plan for SAMHSA’s Roles and Actions 2011-2014. Developed
using stakeholder input, the report outlines SAMHSA’s goals, priorities, and
action steps for reducing the impact of substance abuse and mental
illness. The report explains how SAMHSA will
focus its resources going forward, particularly while implementing the national
health care reform law and the 2008 Mental Health Parity and Addiction
Equity Act (MHPAEA). SAMHSA’s report outlines eight strategic
initiatives: prevention of substance abuse and mental illness; trauma and
justice; military families; recovery support; health reform; health information
technology; data, outcomes, and quality; and public awareness and support.
