Screenshot of a SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) notification letter titled “Notification Letter to Recipient for Termination of Federal Award for Non-Alignment with SAMHSA Priorities.” The letter states that certain federal behavioral-health funding awards are terminated effective January 13, 2026, under federal regulations, citing agency priority realignment. The letter is signed by a SAMHSA official and includes standard federal language regarding closeout obligations.

#SAMHSA is terminating certain federal behavioral-health awards nationwide.
Communities are being told demand is rising at the same time funding and oversight structures are shifting.

Worth paying attention to—this isn’t just a local issue.

White House reverses $2 billion cut to mental health, addiction grants Many of the affected grant programs had bipartisan support and President Donald Trump has supported them in the past.

Because of rapid response efforts by our friends at @AIDSAlabama & others across the country, #SAMHSA grants are claimed to be restored. While we wait for official notices, we want to thank advocates & legislators who urgently sounded the alarm.

Trump Cuts $2 Billion in Federal Funding for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services

Cartoonishly. Fcking. Evil.

I am currently working towards a peer support certification, so I can help people who are where I’ve been. This not only impacts my own job prospects, but will have an immediate impact on #opioid #recovery in the US. #SAMHSA & #Trump simply don’t see us as worth saving.

People will die!Trump & Republicans cancel up to $1.9bn for #substanceuse & #mentalhealth. Funding to end immediately for up to 2,800 grantees of #SAMHSA US agency that serves thousands seeking help & in recovery. Agencies will end programs & fire staff. Get out into the streets &SAY NO

I've spent more hours than I can count writing #SAMHSA proposals & continuations for NYC nonprofits, including @onpointnyc.bsky.social, GMHC, @samaritandv.bsky.social @thefortunesociety.bsky.social.

Trump administration sends letter wiping out addiction, mental health grants The Trump administration sent hundreds of letters Tuesday terminating federal grants supporting mental health and drug addiction services. The cuts could total as much as $2 billion.

Last night, The Rump and his heroin/brainworm Secretary of HHS cancelled $2 billion in Congressionally-appropriated funding for mental health services and addiction treatment and prevention programs, effective immediately.

This policy is insane and cruel. People deserve help when they feel suicidal.

The oligarchs do not care about our citizens' mental health.
