“A quarter of our clients at any given time are at risk of suicide, and now their services have been cut out,” said Scott Roehm, director of global policy and advocacy, on the impacts of funding freezes on CVT clients, in the Pioneer Press. The article, which opens with a description of CVT’s situation with furloughs and international programs being halted, notes the uncertainty faced by NGOs and the lack of cohesive process or reviews. Scott said, “This is all about the Trump administration puffing its chest as much as it can to see how much power it can grab from the other two branches of government … consequences be damned.”
