mental health funding
Psychology service dollars
Mental health funding is money allocated to support psychological and psychiatric services, treatment programs, and related infrastructure.
The phrase appears constantly in policy debates, where advocates argue current levels are inadequate: The bill would increase mental health funding by $2 billion.
Discussions often link funding shortfalls to broader social problems like homelessness and incarceration.
