Book excerpt: No single organization or person can address the multitude of services needed to help people affected by mental health or substance use conditions. The Government is no exception. While the Government can provide financial support and technical assistance to communities to deal with these challenges, it recognizes that the best sources are the people who live, serve, and work in the community and the best results are often seen when they undertake such action together. Today, in the United States, community partnerships are being established around many local challenges, including efforts to promote wellness and overcome issues associated with mental health and substance use conditions. In addressing these matters, unlikely alliances are being formed among community service organizations, the Government, the private sector, health and education systems and, in recent years, with grassroots faith-based organizations.
