- Mission [1]
- SAMHSA’s mission is to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness in American communities. It operates on the
principles that (1) behavioral health is essential to health; (2) prevention works; (3) treatment is effective; and (4) people
recover. In FY 2011, SAMHSA Council members played a critical role in advising the SAMHSA Administrator on the Agency's 8
strategic initiatives, the importance of considering cultural perspectives in developing evidence based practices, and offered
support to serve as spokespersons for SAMHSA's initiatives and programs.
