I think this bill is great for helping people who need support. It will provide resources for those struggling with mental health issues and addiction. This is important because many people suffer in silence and don't know where to turn for help. With this bill, they will have access to trained peers who can offer guidance and support. I believe this bill will make a positive impact on our communities and help those in need. Did you know that this bill also includes funding for training programs to educate peers on how to effectively support others in need?
