The Whole Health Campaign (WHC), an unprecedented collaboration among more than 107 mental illness and substance use prevention, treatment, research and recovery organizations, has created a series of new policy papers outlining the urgent message that substance use and mental illness issues be considered a health care policy priority during the reform process. The papers focus on access, quality, choice and cost of care for people with these disorders and their family members.

“We want to ensure that substance use and mental illness are going to be included during the health care reform process,” said Eric Goplerud, Ph.D, Director of the Center for Integrated Behavioral Health Policy at George Washington University. “It’s critical that legislators and consumers alike insist these issues are addressed – especially when a third of uninsured individuals and their families are struggling with these issues.”
