Too many Virginia families know the heartbreak of losing a loved one to substance use disorder and overdose. Thank you @McShinMcShin for supporting my new legislation to combat addiction through community-based prevention, treatment, and recovery services.

Senator Deeds sees the value of a comprehensive state mental health system and saving lives from the opioid crisis. With the state budget to be finalized on Monday 4/4, your Senators need to hear your support for incorporating HB105 into SB30 item 317. roanoke.com/opinion/editoria…

Editorial: Stalling mental health reforms make the crisis worse

Pushes for improvements to Virginia’s mental health system, like reforms to social services, don’t generate opportunities for media grandstanding or for courting deep-pocketed campaign donors.

This morning in CCT we passed the amended version of HB277. In america, 1 in 10 people have experienced addiction. Addiction is already in our communities and NIMBY attitudes to recovery houses will only hurt us. I voted to support recovery @OxfordHouseAB @McShinMcShin
