Health Care Groups, Advocates, and Businesses Plead for Help in NC Mental Health “State of Emergency”

Last week, the North Carolina Healthcare Association (NCHA), along with 11 statewide organizations including NAMI NC, sent a letter to Governor Roy Cooper, Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger and Speaker of the House Tim Moore stating that behavioral health in North Carolina has reached a state of emergency. Now is the time for the Executive branch and legislative leaders to come together with the public and

private sectors to tackle this emergency head-on. The group called on the leaders to bring bipartisan leadership

and dedicate the needed resources to move from band-aid approaches to true system reform.
