Join Us! Urge Congress to Pass the Family Support Services for Addiction Act

 
TAKE ACTION
family support services for addiction act
We need your help to empower families struggling with substance use disorder. Urge Congress to pass the Family Support Services for Addiction Act, H.R. 5572 in the House and S. 3179 in the Senate. With bipartisan support in both the House and Senate, this bill will build a grant program for community organizations and other nonprofits to provide family support services.

We know that when families are involved, the outcomes for their loved ones are better, but stigma has kept so many from accessing quality treatment and involving parents and caregivers in the healing process. We can change this by bolstering family support programs around the country. Now is the time to empower more parents and caregivers with the support and resources that they need to best help their family member. These services are needed more than ever in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, which is fueling the fire of the national addiction epidemic due to social distancing, financial stress, uncertainty, and disruption of services.

Send a letter to your Members of Congress to urge them to take action on this issue by cosponsoring the Family Support Services for Addiction Act today!
