The County Mental Health Law Plan (CMHLP) seeks to offer pilot program counties JCMH technical assistance, tools, and resources including a checklist and template to support their work in creating such a County Mental Health Law Plan over a six-month period. The goals of the pilot are to determine if creating such a plan encourages discussions that add collaboration, efficiency, cost-savings, and accountability to county mental health law systems.
Counties will participate in four topic-based webinars that are also available on the JCMH YouTube channel. After the webinars, the JCMH staff will visit each county for a workshop.
El Paso, Henderson, Burnet, Burleson, Hays, Medina, Duval, and Travis Counties are currently participating.
