VIDEO: Lance tackles national mental health crisis

By The Staff | The Save Jersey Blog

While the GOP’s internal 2016 war continued to rage on the morning after Super Tuesday, Congressman Leonard Lance (NJ-07) advocated for new mental health care legislation – the Expand Excellence in Mental Health Act – from the House floor:

“This measure is directly tackling one of the most significant mental health challenges – access. The Expand Excellence in Mental Health Act will enable more states to experiment with the tools and practices to fix this broken system,” Lance explained. “Too often we are reminded that our Nation’s mental health care system is not working nearly as well as should be the case. It’s a vicious cycle where the vulnerable who need the most care are instead left out of society, unemployable and – in some cases – a danger to themselves and others. This bill will help struggling families who seek the best care for their loved ones.”
