Webinar: Trends in Behavioral Health Series
- Year Recorded: Fall 2018 and Spring 2019
- Organized by: Epstein Becker Green, Nelson Hardiman, and Behavioral Health Association of Providers
- Number of Webinars: 8
Price: free
There is a confluence of national and local public policy developments regarding mental health, substance use disorders, and treatment. The federal government, working in partnership with states, addresses behavioral health issues and establishes and enforces minimum standards. States, however, have significant power in making decisions—mental health regulations and available services can look very different from state to state, and even from county to county.
This was part of a partnership between Behavioral Health Association of Providers, Epstein Becker Green, and Nelson Hardiman: offering a winter / spring webinar series that addressed topics highlighting the accelerating legal and policy issues for the behavioral health industry.
