From Crisis To Care: Building From 988 & Beyond For Better Mental Health Outcomes

In September 2022, the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD), in collaboration with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), released ten technical assistance papers with contributions from stakeholders and public mental health leaders. Each paper is designed to provide highlights and recommendations for states to consider. The papers can provide guidance within the state behavioral health authority leadership teams to help drive policy and practice, promote funding to meet the ongoing needs in system infrastructure, assist in developing the necessary mental health workforce, and promote learning about the behavioral health system for legislators . . .
