The Trump White House and new majority in Congress have created an atmosphere in Washington that has left even the most experienced policy professionals with their heads spinning.

As we navigate an ever-changing landscape of regulatory and structural changes, we are also trying to fulfill our regular mission of advancing policies that benefit behavioral health providers and consumers—a task proving more complicated than ever.

This webinar will bring you up to date on all the changes in Washington in 2025 and do its best to map out what the future holds for behavioral health policy.
