The Hill (3/1, Weixel) reports that advocates for mental health are now “seizing on the new spotlight on their issue after the Florida shooting, as President Trump and congressional Republicans focus on mental health as a solution to gun violence.” Some mental health advocacy “groups want to use the renewed attention on mental illness to push for more resources to address what they see as major gaps in the country’s mental health system.” Groups mentioned in the article are Mental Health America and the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
