On 988 Day, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services made a multi-million-dollar investment in behavioral health that will benefit organizations in Washington, the Lynnwood Times reports. According to the report, at least $9 million was awarded to Washington-based groups as part of the HHS effort to shore up behavioral health services.
The funding announcement aligns with national moves to strengthen behavioral health supports; Lynnwood Times covered the local impact and named Washington organizations as recipients of the HHS awards.
This infusion of federal resources is a timely boost for community providers working on behavioral health programs, the Lynnwood Times notes.
