Human & Social Services, Session 1, Building the new structure for behavioral health care
The 2024 Iowa Ideas Conference gathered hundreds of Iowans to explore and share perspectives on issues impacting the state.
Building the new structure for behavioral health care
In early 2024, the Iowa legislature passed a bill to unify mental health and substance abuse treatment programs in the state by disbanding and redefining service areas for behavioral health care. This session will review the new system, in comparison to previous attempts at restructuring, as well as the possible benefits, challenges, and impact.
