Madison County Mental Health Issues Continue To Grow, Schumer Calls For Support
Senator Charles Schumer made a stop in Madison County today.
Schumer was joined by members of Madison County’s Mental Health Task Force to call on the Federal Government to immediately release $5 billion for mental health services secured in the American Rescue Plan.
Schumer says the Madison County Health Department saw a 250 percent increase in mental health-related crisis calls between 2019 and 2020, and has seen even more already in 2021.
He says that makes getting the federal funding out the door all the more critical for Madison County residents struggling with mental health issues.
