INITIAL - 3 YEAR ACTION PLAN
CREATION OF SIX COMMITTEES:
1)ACCESS & TREATMENT 2)CHANGING PERCEPTIONS & STIGMA 3)CORRECTIONS & LAW ENFORCEMENT 4)DATA & POLICY 5)EDUCATION & PREVENTION 6)FAMILY & COMMUNITY READINESS
SLIDE 10
ACCESS AND TREATMENT
Ensuring adequate resources, capacity and high- quality treatment should be a top priority for every behavioral health system across the State. Looking to expand treatment resources, which increase access for individuals is critical.
SLIDE 11
CHANGING PERCEPTIONS AND STIGMA
The barrier that stigma presents is one of the most challenging obstacles for an individual in
- recovery. This was regularly communicated in
both the Behavioral Health Consortium’s regular meetings and throughout the statewide community forums. The below recommendations are set forth to combat that stigma and work toward changing perceptions.
SLIDE 12
CORRECTIONS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
Our correctional, law enforcement and first responders are often the first contact for individuals who are struggling with a behavioral health crisis. The old school “tough on crime” mindset and initiatives of the 1900’s, where harsh sentencing and imprisonment was believe to fix crime, has systematically failed. For example, 82%
- f the State’s current inmate population have a
serious mental illness and an underlying substance use disorder, which require treatment services. Currently, the Department of Correction is the largest behavioral health provider within the State.
SLIDE 13
DATA & POLICY
The Data and Policy Committee looks to oversee any legislative action, collect critical data and ensure all
- ther committees are receiving any
data requested.
SLIDE 14
EDUCATION AND PREVENTION
Providing education, prevention and early intervention is critical to ensure both mental and behavioral health issues are understood and addressed accordingly.
SLIDE 15
FAMILY AND COMMUNITY READINESS
Our families and communities play a critical role in supporting, educating and fighting stigma for individuals who have a behavioral and mental health issue. Family and Community Readiness is what
- ur families and communities need to
better serve those experiencing an issue.
