The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration will be consolidated under RFK Jr. into a new Administration for a Healthy America, or AHA.

In an article published on Forbes on June 8, 2025, Omer Awan discusses Robert F.

Proponents, however, believe that the move could lead to more efficient and effective use of resources, fostering innovation and local solutions to mental health and substance abuse challenges.
