I want to invite everyone to an open Naranon meeting, Thursday Feb 19th, 7-8pm, Beargrass Christian Church Rm 208, 4100 Shelbyville Rd, Louisville KY. Please enter through the door that faces Shelbyville Road nearest the church office, near the northwest corner of the church. We will have a guest speaker with information about Casey's Law. Ms. Sarah Perlmutter is Assistant County Attorney-Mental Health Unit in Jefferson County, and she will share current information on navigating the Casey's Law process. I joined this group in 2018 when I successfully petitioned to have my son ordered to treatment, and he is now on his 8th year of sobriety. This meeting will include an opportunity for Q&A, and please reach out to me with questions regarding the meeting.

SERVICES EXTENDED TO MONDAY 2/2

This weekend will be dangerously cold, and no one should be sleeping, or trying to survive, outside in this weather. It can be deadly.

The Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky is activating a 24-hour Warming Center under White Flag procedures, in partnership with Kenton County and Covington, to make sure our neighbors have a safe, warm place during this storm.

Warming Center will operate Friday, January 23 at 5:30 PM through Monday, February 2 at 9:00 AM, serving adult men & women (18+) who are experiencing homelessness.

Once shelter beds are full, we will continue operating under White Flag, using additional space in the Navigation Center. Our building is warm, and guests can access meals, coffee, showers, laundry, and community, supported by staff trained to respond in moments like this.

We need your help, we don't budget for this. Monetary donations of any amount are appreciated at: bit.ly/ESNKYwinter.

White House Reverses Proposed $2 Billion Cut to Addiction and Mental Health Grants

On January 14th, the White House reversed a $2 billion cut to federal grants supporting addiction treatment, overdose prevention, and mental health services, after widespread concern from lawmakers, providers, and grantees across the country.

Earlier this week, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grantees were notified that their grants would be abruptly terminated, effective immediately. The notices cited “non-alignment with SAMHSA priorities” and left thousands of programs uncertain about their ability to continue providing services.

By Wednesday evening, administration officials confirmed that the grant terminations were being rescinded. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI.), the ranking member of the Senate Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittee, said there had been an “intervention” at the White House to halt the cuts.

The proposed funding rollback came at a time when overdose deaths have begun to decline nationally, underscoring the role that sustained investment in evidence-based treatment and prevention plays in saving lives. Providers also noted that the uncertainty compounded ongoing workforce shortages and financial strain already facing addiction and mental health systems.

While the reversal restores funding for now, advocates and service providers remain concerned about the broader instability created by sudden policy shifts. Programs serving people with substance use disorders and serious mental illness depend on predictable, long-term funding to maintain staff, deliver care, and respond to community needs.
