Under the Trump administration, rollbacks of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, cuts to mental health funding, and restrictions on key programs have created new barriers—particularly for marginalized communities. These shifts are reshaping the landscape of mental health support in the U.S., forcing healthcare providers, businesses, and advocates to adapt in real time.
