Thank you!
To everyone who contacted their legislators and to the legislators who lent their support to funding Peer Support Centers
|
GOOD NEWS! The Peer Support Centers have received complete funding for fiscal year 2012/2013. Due to TDMH budget deliberations providing $1.1 million dollars to the Centers and a prior allocation of $1.3 million dollars by the Governor, Peer Support Centers remain intact. There are other serious considerations impacting mental health constituents that remain to be defined. NAMI Tennessee would like to encourage its members and supporters to thank their legislators who stepped up to support the funding.
