Congress has the opportunity to address gaps in disaster response through the Community Mental Wellness and Resilience Act (CMWRA). This bipartisan legislation would establish federal funding for community-based mental health programs, science-backed and trauma-informed disaster response, and resilience-building initiatives that recognize the full scope of impact. 

The International Transformational Resilience Coalition (ITRC) today released a comprehensive Global Call to Action that implores community, private sector, and government leaders worldwide  to form community-led initiatives that provide Mutual Support For All to prevent and heal the mental  health, psychosocial, and physical issues generated by the climate-ecosystem-biodiversity (C-E-B) crisis. 

We're proud to announce that Director of Systems Transformation Dr. Melinda J. Baldwin was recently selected as a 2025 Service to the Citizen Award winner. Dr. Baldwin received this recognition as part of the White House Office of Management and Budget's Customer Experience Team for their exceptional disaster recovery efforts.
