This bill requires the Department of Mental Health to apply for a grant with the United States Department of Health and Human Services for the purposes of establishing the "Statewide Mobile Mental Health Unit Program".
Each unit established by the program and in cooperation with local public health agencies is required to:
(1) Provide information about mental illness and substance use and combat associated stigma;
(2) Provide information about behavioral health care services available in the community and assist people with accessing these services;
(3) Assist people in scheduling appointments for behavioral health care services; and
(4) Facilitate public participation in events that promote preventive health measures.
This bill is the same as HB 2520 (2024).
