RELIAS: Regulatory, Financial and Workforce Impact of COVID-19 for Behavioral Health

Public health best practices during the COVID-19 pandemic have had a major impact on the behavioral health care system, reducing the opportunity for in-person services and by extension the revenue for many behavioral health providers. In a time where mental health and addiction services are needed more than ever, federal- and state-level regulatory changes and financial support are re-shaping our country’s behavioral health system, and workforce, both now and in the future.

National Council Strategic Partner, Relias, and John Jay, product marketing manager for health and human services at Relias, and Frankie Berger and Stephanie Katz, directors of state and federal policy and advocacy at the National Council, discussed the regulatory, financial and workforce impact of COVID-19 on the behavioral health field in this webinar.
