Workforce Solutions Jam | H.R.1 and the Future of Behavioral Health: What Leaders Need to Know Now

H.R.1 introduces significant changes to Medicaid that will shape the behavioral health landscape in the years ahead. As states begin implementing new requirements, leaders must understand what’s changing, who may be affected and where uncertainty remains, and be ready with practical strategies to support access to care, strengthen organizational readiness and sustain their workforce.

This is the first session in a three-part webinar series designed to help behavioral health providers, association leaders and workforce stakeholders understand key provisions of H.R.1, prepare for implementation, and lead their organizations through change. Register for the full series: July 21, Aug. 18 and Sept. 15.
