Mental Health & Addiction Services CART Meetings are held on the 4th Wednesday of each month from 1:00-2:00 pm
Facilitator: Regina Bradley
Priority Focus:
• Develop Community Behavioral Health Advocates (CBHA), a program employing local residents who are trained and certified to assist people with advocacy; offer help to connect with and navigate behavioral health services; identify distressed persons who need services before emergencies occur; and provide low-complexity therapeutic interventions, as appropriate
• Develop, maintain, and update regularly a community-wide inventory of mental health and substance treatment resources, with online and tablet-based tools that can be used readily by individuals, families, navigators, and clergy for defining needs and facilitating access to care
• Re-examine and modify the interpretation of DHS regulations that affect people with mental health and substance use disorders, including but not limited to attendance and compliance requirements, which otherwise may disqualify them from services
