Mental Health: Parity Yes, Providers No

Joanna Weill 3/5/144:00 AM

"Demand -- for both facilities and providers-- has long outpaced supply in the field of mental health, but recent moves to increase funding for mental health services combined with innovative delivery systems may reverse that trend.

In December, to mark the 1-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, Vice President Joe Biden announced the executive branch would invest $100 million in the nation's mental health system. Biden said the funds would be used to expand mental health services at community health centers and in rural America."
