In accordance with President Donald J. Trump’s Great American Recovery Initiative and pursuant to the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act of 2025, ONC will convene a landmark, all-day event to explore the role of health IT in improving mental health treatment and fighting the disease of addiction.
