The Alliance for Rights and Recovery, in partnership with national mental health and substance use advocates, is proud to co-host an upcoming Congressional Briefing: “Strengthening Mental Health and Substance Use Services Nationwide”
When: Friday, May 15, 2026, 9:00 – 10:30 AM
Where: Rayburn Building, Washington, DC
This important briefing, sponsored by the Congressional Addiction Treatment and Recovery Caucus, will bring together leaders and advocates from across the country to highlight the current state of mental health and substance use services and the urgent need to strengthen community-based supports.
Together, we will provide Members of Congress and their staff with a real-world perspective on:
- What is currently working in mental health and substance use services
- Where critical gaps remain
- The federal actions needed to strengthen prevention, treatment, recovery, and long-term stability
The panel will feature voices representing mental health recovery, substance use services, youth, and families, offering a comprehensive view of how federal policy can better support individuals, families, and communities.
This is a critical opportunity to elevate the importance of community-based, recovery-oriented services and ensure federal policy reflects the needs of the people and communities we serve.
Please also see the attached flyers for additional details, and feel free to share this opportunity with your networks.
We hope you can join us for this important conversation!
