Governor Ralph Northam has proposed a $228 million package to fund Virginia’s mental and behavioral health services. This 11% uptick will be put towards the state’s nine hospitals and private institutions over the next two years. If approved, Community Service Boards and other key support services will be funded in order to ease the discharge process. Improving upon the state’s current crisis services, outpatient services, veterans’ programs, peer support services, supportive housing and assertive community treatment teams will be a priority for prevention.
