Think Bigger Do Good Releases New Policy Paper

The Think Bigger Do Good Policy Series is non-partisan and a collection of solution-oriented papers addressing current behavioral health policy issues. A consortium of strategic and tactical authorities in the mental health and addictions fields inform the development and dissemination of these papers. In addition to cultivating the topic list, the consortium identifies, recommends, and helps select the subject matter experts to author the papers.

Each paper in this series promotes effective advocacy and is intended to inform and educate the public on current mental health and substance use topics discussed at the local, state and federal levels.

Help solve the growing behavioral health needs in our country by advancing public policies to transform the delivery of mental health and substance use disorder services and address outdated funding mechanisms.

The initiative's most recent paper - Building the Behavioral Health Crisis Response Workforce - provides actionable solutions policymakers, academia, and municipalities should take to reimagine the crisis response workforce. To read the paper, visit Think Bigger Do Good.
