The congresswoman called the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or SAMHSA, grants “an amazing victory.” The federal agency cancelled $2 billion in grants in January, only to have the decision reversed a day later after a national outcry. The funding will help the organizations provide services to youth who have experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences. The federal money awarded through SAMHSA is used on programs ranging from therapeutic services for youth to medicated assisted treatment for people with substance abuse disorder. DeLauro commended the staff of Bridges for their life-saving work.
