This bill is a vital step in addressing our nation’s dire shortage of mental health professionals and reducing the unmet mental health treatment gap for Americans across the lifespan. According to the National Institutes of Mental Health, in the past year alone nearly one in five adults in the United States experienced a mental or behavioral health problem. A 2016 report from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) projected the supply of personnel in selected behavioral and mental health fields to be 250,000 workers short of the projected demand in 2025. The Mental Health Professionals Workforce Shortage Loan Repayment Act of 2019 will amend the Public Health Service Act to authorize a loan repayment program for mental health professionals to relieve workforce shortages and for other purposes.

Members of Congress wore purple ribbons throughout the day to show support for recovery. This effort was inspired by grassroots and local efforts focused on bringing awareness to the addiction epidemic. In addition to wearing purple ribbons, members of congress were also asked to show support on social media, give floor speeches in recognition of National Recovery Month, and to co-sponsor a resolution recognizing National Recovery Month.
