Which States Have Cut Mental Health Funding the Most?

Mother Jones, April 2013 



SITE SUMMARY:
With the media trying to find a motive for the horrific shootings, bombings and other disasters in the last year, much talk has happened on the potential correlation of the de-funding of mental health and these events. "Between 2009 and 2012, states cut a total of $4.35 billion in public mental-health spending," reports Mother Jones. Also discusses mental health and incarceration, mass shootings, homelessness, where mental health funding goes and more. A great read.
