Community Engagement and Feedback Opportunity
More on McLean County Mental Health Services
by Judy Buchanan
Editor's Note: This article follows up on our July 29 News Blast article about recent discussions of mental health funding through a county sales tax. Today, Judy Buchanan and Sally Rudolph, who are actively involved and following this, offer the promised information about how you can participate in the Behavioral Health Action Plan update efforts.
You are invited to join the conversation and engage in a facilitated discussion about what the McLean County Behavioral Health Action Plan intends to accomplish and how it will be stewarded by the Behavioral Health Coordinating Council. Originally adopted in 2015, the Action Plan, formerly the McLean County Mental Health Action Plan, continues to be a "living document" and a road map for moving forward focused on improving the behavioral health of McLean County residents.
The Behavioral Health Coordinating Council, established as an independent body, serves to improve behavioral health through greater inter-agency communication, coordination, and collaboration among both public and private entities. Among its duties is the review and update of the Behavioral Health Action Plan.
The League is participating with the McLean County Behavioral Health Coordinator and Heartland Community College to provide four feedback and engagement sessions. Attendees will include League members and other interested citizens. The sessions are intended to present the Plan and solicit community insight, input and observations about the plan. Scheduled for the month of September, you can choose one from the four scheduled sessions.
Register now for yourself and your guests. Choose one of the four sessions.
