Elaine F. Campbell ’09 (New England, PsyD) was featured in the Daily Hampshire Gazette in a story examining how the brief reversal of federal cuts to SAMHSA grants sent “shockwaves” through behavioral health providers across western Massachusetts. As senior vice president of clinical services at ServiceNet, Campbell underscored how fragile funding streams can threaten essential supports for people facing substance use challenges, homelessness, and mental illness—and how organizations were left “on pins and needles” as they braced for potential losses. She also pointed to the slim margins under which community providers operate and has long advocated for state-level reserve funds to help protect community behavioral health centers when federal funding is disrupted.
Campbell has been a voice for the Antioch values concerning social justice in her career as she has been a leader in the local mental health systems.
