of people from across the country who share a common goal to fundamentally improve mental health care policy — to take care of ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities.

Thank you to R.I. Attorney General Peter Neronha for his leadership and commitment to Rhode Islanders struggling with mental health illnesses and substance use disorder by leading a multistate effort to protect mental health and substance use disorder care.
In January, a federal court ruled that one of the largest healthcare providers denied coverage for mental health and substance use treatments for tens of thousands of Americans. Unfortunately, the court also ruled that those who had coverage denied would not be allowed to submit their claims. In states like Rhode Island where there's been a surge in mental health illness and substance use disorders, this ruling only increases the difficulties many patients face when seeking treatment.
