Good question. And I don't know of one. I don't really see it as my role as journalist to try to take on that task more than I have already by sharing my own views. Plus, there's so much else in there that's about detailed operations of different parts of crisis systems that I don't feel fully qualified to comment on. So I'm mainly just trying to stir interest in some of the organizations that work in mental health that might want to comment and/or take leadership on something like that.
The SAMHSA comment link isn't working. And thank you for your important work.
Seems to be for me -- https://988crisissystemshelp.samhsa.gov/2025-national-guidelines-behavioral-health-coordinated-system-crisis-care-public-comment-promotion
Ths SAMHSA comment link isn't working.
Both of them do seem to still be working. Should be there until Dec 15. Maybe just try again? https://988crisissystemshelp.samhsa.gov/2025-national-guidelines-behavioral-health-coordinated-system-crisis-care-public-comment-promotion
Rob, Thanks for keeping us up to date on this insidious threat!
Has a points list been generated to help guide a strategic oppositional response? That helps a lot of people write their letters!
