This mental health advocate wants to make addiction and behavioral health a 2020 election issue
WASHINGTON — A top mental health and addiction treatment advocate here wants behavioral health on the ballot in 2020.
It’s a winning issue, according to Chuck Ingoglia, the president and CEO of the National Council for Behavioral Health, a D.C. nonprofit that represents thousands of community mental health providers. According to a presidential primary poll the organization released last month, large majorities of New Hampshire voters believe the federal government isn’t doing enough to address the nation’s addiction and mental health challenges.
