BH Forum materials - December 2022

Topics: Design brainstorming for small bucket categories, planning for 2023

Forum Overview
The Behavioral Health Forum is currently engaged in a participatory decision-making process to allocate $1.2 million dollars to support the regional behavioral health workforce. We have identified three “Big Bucket” categories for these dollars: Workforce Retention & Expansion ($540,000), Peers & CHWs ($230,000), and Training/Education – Evidence-Based Practices ($310,000). Additionally we have approximately $120,000 in an Emerging Opportunities Fund. In the fall we determined funding amounts for specific activities and initiatives in each of these categories. In December we will do some design brainstorming and discuss how to proceed with implementation. We plan to begin distributing funds in the first quarter of 2023.
