Gov. J.B. Pritzker offers recommendations from the Children’s Behavioral Health Transformation Initiative.
The initiative started in March of 2022 and aimed to update statewide systems to make it easier for families looking to get care for a loved one with behavioral health issues.
On Friday, Pritzker provided an update on the program’s progress.
As the program nears its first anniversary, the agencies involved offered suggestions to improve it further, including in-school visits.
The recommendations for 2023 include creating a centralized resource for families seeking services, increasing capacity and rebuilding the workforce.
