One Less Friend
By Kiantha Shadduck
Metamorphosis editor
As mental health providers unite against suicide at Gonzaga University in Spokane
today, a Lake City journalist shares the impact of tragically losing her friend
COEURD’ALENE — Major depression is
isolating. To exist under its dark veil of gloom
is an extremely scary state of mind,
subsequently leading one down a spiraling
staircase to their own vision of hell.
This was my journey on February 23,
2011. The frequent visitor miles accumulated
over that particular week during my visits to
that hellish, dark, cold place of nothingness,
never warranted the kind of
excitement to Facebook friends
about. The negative societal stigma
of mental illness is deflating of selfworth and controlling.
So, I kept my struggles with
depression private.
Little did I know until days later,
that one of my best friends took a
similarly unpleasant journey that
same day, resulting in life-altering
consequences.
Like me, Jeffrey Kemmish kept
his heart-wrenching sorrow quiet.

Following the Money
Win More, Lose Some with President Obama’s 2016 Budget on Mental Health
By Andrew Sperling
NAMI National
WASHINGTON D.C. — President
Obama unveiled his $4 trillion budget
proposal for 2016. In a surprise
development, the budget proposes to
eliminate the unfair 190-day lifetime
limit on inpatient psychiatric care in the
Medicare program, a proposal that
requires congressional action.
Perhaps most important is the
President’s proposal to increase the
current budget limits by $74 billion on
spending, thankfully eliminating the
looming threat of across-the-board cuts
known as “sequestration” for 2016.
Back in 2013, sequestration became a
reality, with harmful cuts to mental
illness research and supportive housing
programs. It remains to be seen if
Congress will allow this to happen.
However, this budget proposal does
serve as a first offer in a negotiation
over spending limits and priorities that
will run through this coming summer.
Mental Illness Research
The President’s budget proposes a
$56 million increase for the National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) –
boosting funding from the current 2015
level of $1.434 billion to $1.489 billion.
This increase is in line with many of the
other 29 institutes and centers at the
National Institutes of Health (NIH),
which overall is proposed for a $1 billion
increase, up to $31.3 billion.
In addition, the budget is proposing an
increase of $70 million for a total of
$135 million for the Brain Research
through Advancing

Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN)
Initiative. The BRAIN Initiative is a
collaborative effort across numerous
NIH institutes (including NIMH) and the
Department of Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
aimed at accelerating development and
application of advanced technologies
such neuroimaging and mapping of
brain circuits.
The budget also proposes a new
investment in “Precision Medicine,”
which involves matching
diagnosis and treatment
strategies to each
person's unique
molecular makeup. The
President is asking for
$200 million for this
initiative, including $130
million for a National
Research Cohort that
would have the
objective of mapping
the individual genome
of 1 million clinical trial
participants.
Mental Health
Services
Under the President’s
2016 budget, the
Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services
Administration
(SAMHSA) would see a $44.6 million
increase – boosting overall funding to
$3.666 billion.
This amount includes:
• $482.5 million for the Mental Health
Services Block Grant which is level
funding from 2015. The budget
continues to call for a 5-percent set
aside to support early intervention in
psychosis.
• $65 million, the same as the current
2015 level, for the Projects for
Assistance in Transition from
Homelessness (PATH) program,
which funds outreach and
engagement for homeless individuals
with mental illness.
• $117 million, the same as the current
2015 level, for the Children’s Mental
Health Program.
• $10 million in new funding for Crisis
Systems, an initiative to support
states and communities in developing
robust mental health and addiction
crisis-response systems. Funding
would be used to provide grants to
entities for coordinating effective crisis
response with ongoing outpatient
services and supports.
• $26 million for Primary CareBehavioral Health Integration grants,
a decrease of $23 million compared
to 2015. The funding cut would drop a
new program for Primary CareAddiction Services Integration. (It
remerges under the $20 million
proposal below.)
• $15 million for Mental Health First Aid
under the President’s Now is the Time
initiative, which is level funding.
• $4 million in new funding for Veterans

initiative to provide information and
support to veterans and family

$2 million increase for suicide

$10 million in new funding for peer

$16 million cut for Criminal Justice
Activities such as drug courts and exoffender re-entry grants at the Center
for Substance Abuse Treatment
(CSAT).
$20 million for Primary Care-Addiction
Services Integration, a new program
to support combining primary care
services in addiction treatment
settings to support what is high rates
of co-occurrence. The Obama
Administration first proposed this
program in 2015, but Congress did
not enact it.
Supportive Housing
The President’s proposed budget
offers a $42 million increase for the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) Section 811
program, which supports the lowest
income people with long-term
disabilities to live independently in the
community. This would boost funding
from the current 2015 level of $135
million up to $177 million. This increase
would allow $25 million in 2016 to
develop new supportive housing units,
known as Project-Based Rental
Assistance (PRA). These housing units
would be made available to states
through a competitive process tied to
efforts to promote community
integration as an alternative to
restrictive settings such as board and
care homes serving people with severe
disabilities (including serious mental
illness).
The budget proposes $2.48 billion for
Homeless Assistance Grants, a $345
million increase over
the 2015 level. HUD
projects that this
increase will allow for
development of 25,500
new permanent
supportive housing
(PSH) units in 2016
and place us back on
pace to end chronic
homelessness in
America by the end of
2017.
The HUD budget also
includes a proposal to
restore more than
67,000 Section 8
vouchers lost in 2013
as a result of
sequestration.
Specifically, $492
million is requested for
new Section 8 rental
vouchers. This would include 22,500
vouchers targeted to veterans and
homeless individuals and families.
Unfortunately, this proposal does not
include people with disabilities as a
targeted population.
Veterans
The President’s budget proposes
$73.486 billion for discretionary
programs at the U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) for 2016. The VA
funding request is unique in that the
agency is NOT subject to the strict caps
on discretionary spending put in place
in 2011. In addition, the Veterans Health
Administration (VHA) is funded by
Congress on a two year basis, meaning
that this budget proposal includes 2017
“forward funding” request of $66.6
billion. For 2016, the budget projects
$63.2 billion for veterans’ medical care,
a $4.2 billion increase over 2015. This
includes $7.5 billion for mental health
care in the VA, a $349 million increase
over 2015.

The budget proposes $1.4 billion at
the VA for homeless related programs,
including support services in the joint
VA-HUD VASH program wherein VA
provides case management services for
at-risk veterans and their families and
HUD provides permanent housing
through its Housing Choice Voucher
program.
Between 2010 and 2014, overall
veteran homelessness has dropped
33%, and unsheltered veteran
homelessness has dropped 46%. In
2015, a number of large U.S. cities
have recorded zero homelessness
among veterans.
For 2016, the President is requesting
$622 million for medical research at the
VA.
Finally, the President’s budget also
requests $2.7 billion (a $166 million
boost over 2015) to improve VA benefits
claims processing through technology
enhancements and hiring of new claims
processors.
Medicare and Medicaid
Both Medicare and Medicaid are
mandatory entitlement programs that
are not subject to annual appropriations
by Congress. However, the President’s
budget request always includes
proposals to reform both programs and
fund demonstrations and pilot
programs.
For 2016, the President is endorsing
an important change to Medicare and
ending the current unfair 190-day
lifetime limit on inpatient psychiatric

COSTUME.
care. The budget projects that this will
cost $5 billion over 10 years.
For years, NAMI has fought to
eliminate this unfair limit on inpatient
care. This restriction disproportionately
impacts non-elderly Medicare
beneficiaries – mainly Social Security
Disability Insurance (SSDI)
beneficiaries living with schizophrenia
and bipolar disorder that stay on
Medicare longer and are much more
likely to run up against the current limit.
It is a major step forward for a President
to endorse elimination of the 190-day
lifetime limit as part of a budget
proposal. NAMI will be pushing hard for
Congress to move on this proposal in
2016.
Unfortunately, the President’s budget
also includes a proposal from last
year’s budget to increase cost sharing
in the Medicare Part D drug benefit for
low-income and dual eligible
beneficiaries. The proposal is designed
to encourage higher use of generic
medications in Part D. While this
includes lowering the cost sharing for
generic medications, it also allows for
doubling of cost sharing for brand
medications and specifically allows the
therapeutic substitution to avoid higher
cost sharing.
It is important to note that this proposal
for higher cost sharing would be only
forced on beneficiaries below 135% of
the federal poverty level and those
dually eligible for both Medicare and
Medicaid.
For Medicaid, the President’s budget
includes expansion of a number of
waiver and state option programs
designed to promote community
integration for people with disabilities
and improve coordinated care. Among
these are expansion of the current 1915
(i) Home and Community-Based
Services option program.
The 1915(i) program can include
services — for people with mental
illness who qualify — such as: day
treatment or partial hospitalization,
psychosocial rehabilitation, behavioral
supports, cognitive rehabilitative
therapy, crisis intervention and housing
counseling. Under current law, states
that participate must limit eligibility for
1915(i) to individuals with disabilities
that meet strict criteria. The budget
proposes to allow states to expand their
criteria and eliminate other
administrative burdens.
States would also be allowed to offer
the full array of Medicaid services to
those meeting 1915(i) criteria. The
budget also proposes to require
covering Early and Periodic Screening,
Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT)
services for children and young adults
under age 21 in inpatient psychiatric
facilities.
Next
Both the U.S. House of
Representatives and the U.S. Senate
will be working on their proposed
budgets. They will then come together
to work out the differences in their
budgets before it is sent back to the
President.

In Case You Missed It ...
JEFFREY
cont. from page 1
Jeffrey fought his own
battles with chronic
debilitating pain from
physical injuries sustained
in a freak accident several
years earlier. That physical
pain was compounded by
the mental anguish of
depression, a diagnosis he
shared with me when we
briefly dated during his stint
at Eastern Washington
University.
Unlike my lonely journey
on that chilly February day,
Jeffrey did not awake to
struggle another. He ended
his battle. Jeffrey committed
suicide near a place he
enjoyed inside the majestic
Manito Park on Spokane’s
South Hill.
Jeffrey’s death killed me,
too. I suddenly felt so gutted
of the heart; so truly empty,
so alone and lost in this vast
world I once was blessed to
experience, in part, with this
incredibly tenacious,
compassionate and talented
individual.
Uncontrollable tears upon
tears unmasked in public by
day, only to cry myself to
sleep at night.
Jeffrey and I were kindred
souls in our activism for
animal liberation, peace and
justice. Now he was gone.
There was no opportunity to
say a heartfelt goodbye. No
warning of his impending
departure. The finality of this
reality ate at me. Words not
spoken enough, now
forever lost.
That loss also struck at my
core identity as an activist.
Albeit, we individually
established our grassroots
street cred, per se, years
before meeting and joining
forces in 2007, there still
seemed to be no me without
him at anti fur protests
during the frigid holiday
months.
A similar overwhelming
sadness emerged during
the first springtime
demonstration soon after
his death. His stronghold
presence and empowering
passion for educating
circus-goers of the enslaved
cruelty punished upon
African elephants, lions and
endangered tigers
repeatedly inspired many
activists. The absence of his
energy this time around was
undeniably profound.
My mind juggled many
“what if” scenarios; thoughts
to make some sense of
losing my friend. I wished I
had called Jeffrey, as if
given a premonition of his
feelings of hopelessness.
Perhaps, if I had merely
reached out. Checked in
with him. Reconnected that
friendship of which
depression individually
isolated us from. Could I
have made any difference in
his chosen outcome?
I wrestled with a type of
survivor’s guilt, irrational as
it sounds. Would he still be
alive today?
Four years have passed.
Four long years. An event,
joke, fleeting thought,
activism, similar friends, and
the plight of animals can
conjure memories and my
fond appreciation for Jeffrey.
Thinking about him brings
me smiles and an
occasional salutation. He
will always be alive in me, a
warmth to my heart and
mind. Maybe someday I can
tell him.
