A Call to Action
Our behavioral health system is facing significant challenges.
In the current system, people struggle to access the care they need. Challenges and barriers exist across all aspects of the system, from the value society places on behavioral health care, to how services are paid for, to how people access care.
Fundamental change is required to build a system that meets the needs of all individuals, families and communities no matter who they are, where they live or their ability to pay for care.
The Workforce Solutions Partnership is not just identifying problems—we’re driving comprehensive solutions. Our collaborative approach brings together policymakers, health care leaders, behavioral health professionals, government entities, health plans, academic institutions, professional associations, philanthropists, technology companies and other partners to build a comprehensive strategy that addresses workforce challenges through:
- Immediate interventions to support current professionals.
- Long-term strategies to attract and retain talent.
- Innovative approaches to expand access and quality of care.
System change takes time, but the need for improvements is urgent. Download the Call to Action to learn more about the Partnership’s work and ways you can get involved.
The Workforce Solutions Partnership is a collaboration between the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, Health Management Associates and The College for Behavioral Health Leadership.
