Health Management Associates Briefs

The behavioral health workforce crisis is impacting every state in the country with an increase in the demand for mental health and substance use services and a diminishing workforce. The National Council for Mental Wellbeing and Health Management Associates is preparing a series of three briefs that offer states immediate policy actions to expand current capacity and build a more stable future workforce. The first brief focuses on Policy, Financial Strategies and Regulatory Waivers and the second is a workforce strategy brief.
