About this listen

In this episode, Tiffany and Eric dive into the real-world impact of recent mental health policy changes—including Medicaid work requirements, the defunding of school-based mental health services, the opioid settlement fund, and the rollback of mental health parity enforcement. We discuss the consequences of these shifts on vulnerable populations, rural healthcare clinics, overdose prevention efforts, and youth mental health programs.
🎙️ Learn why therapy is political, how federal decisions shape access to care, and what’s at stake in the 2024 policy landscape.
📌 Topics include:

  • Medicaid & mental health coverage

  • 9-8-8 suicide lifeline funding
