I am very grateful to the many mental health and wellness advocates in our membership and their efforts to educate and de-stigmatize mental health issues. "Follow the money" is always good advice when determining where to use your nursing expertise in business. HRSA’s Telehealth Centers of Excellence Program is getting infusions of cash. This signifies an increased interest in creating a national network of telehealth and telemedicine programs to improve healthcare access, and battle the nation’s substance abuse epidemic.

| | In the past few years, articles about anxiety, depression and a host of other mental health conditions have taken the internet by storm—things that decades ago, many people were afraid to talk about. They feared doing so might make them appear weak, or flawed, or troubled. But now, a wave of openness and honesty has led more and more people to talk about their mental health and the issues they might be facing.
You might be wondering, But what exactly is mental health? You’ve heard of things like anxiety and depression, and you’re somewhat familiar with the negative effects stress can have on the body. But you don’t know about the nuances of these things, and why caring for our mental health is such a crucial part of living a happy, healthy and well-rounded life.

May 08, 2019 - The Health Resources and Services Administration could be getting a $4 million increase in its telehealth budget, to go toward Telehealth Centers of Excellence and programs promoting rural telemedicine and opioid abuse treatment programs.
All told, the House Appropriations Committee has proposed budgeting $28.5 million for the HRSA’s telehealth efforts in its draft fiscal year 2020 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (LHHS) funding bill, far above the agency’s $10 million FY 2020 budget request.
