If we see the passion behind changing the system for mental health and substance use, both on the federal side and the state side, we have a real opportunity to make a difference in the change of that system. In today’s episode, Dr. Graham Taylor speaks with Reyna Taylor. Reyna is the Vice President of Public Policy and Advocacy. She leads public policy and government affairs activities, supervises legislative matters, and guides overall public policy strategy at the state and federal levels. Together Graham and Reyna discuss the work the National Council is doing on a federal and state levels, implementing systemic change, and the impact of national programs to assist both communities to address mental wellness as well as the health and wellness of providers to keep the workforce strong.
