New Resource Alert: Refocusing on Whole-Person Health

We are excited to share a critical new series from SAMHSA titled Refocus and Renew: Moving Towards Health Technical Assistance Papers.

As the landscape of mental healthcare evolves, this 10-paper series calls on state leaders and providers to renew their commitment to system-level changes. The goal is clear: improve recovery outcomes for adults with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) and youth with Serious Emotional Disturbances (SED) through a whole-person health approach.

Why It Matters: By coordinating mental health, substance use, and physical health care, we can create a continuum of care that truly meets people where they are. Whether you are a professional care provider, a public health official, or a policy advocate, these papers offer a roadmap for enhancing service delivery and fostering long-term recovery.
