Thank you to our legislators for work done on SB 1?
Indianapolis, Ind. — The Indiana Council and its 24 Community Mental Health Centers are thankful for the work that our legislators did with SB 1. This bill is the?most influential piece of legislation related to behavioral health in recent times since it gives the structure of 988, coordinated crisis response and the building blocks of the infrastructure for CCBHC across the state long-term. We are especially grateful to Senator Mike Crider and Representative Anne Vermilion for carrying this important piece of legislation. ?
While we are grateful to the legislature for this significant investment in behavioral health. We are looking forward to working with them in the next session to develop a sustainable funding source that will allow for the full roll out of CCBHC and crisis response in Indiana. We will continue to work closely with the legislature to ensure Hoosiers have access to the care they need when they need it. ?
The Council is looking forward to continuing the discussion about how we build a sustainable infrastructure by building on SB 1 with ongoing policy changes and investments in the health infrastructure. ?
For any questions regarding this or next steps, please contact Zoe Frantz, CEO/President of the Indiana Council of Community Mental Health Centers at 812-298-4533.?
