2021 Legislative Fact Sheet: Aligning mental health spending and strategies
February 23, 2021
Mental health issues impact a broad range of state services and activities — but these services are often siloed.
This bill identifies and breaks down siloes in state government and improves access to care by: 1) analyzing all spending and funding associated with mental health in 11 agencies; 2) building a multi-agency strategy for aligning these resources and improving care, and 3) linking future budget requests to the multi-agency strategy.
