Public Policy Advocacy

The H/LBH CoE is dedicated to shaping and implementing innovative behavioral health public policies that specifically cater to the needs of H/L communities. As part of our initiatives, the Center will establish a Policy Academy, bringing together teams from different states/territories to engage in comprehensive efforts. This collaborative platform will delve into crafting effective policies and strategies at the state level, targeting the reduction of behavioral health challenges among H/L populations.

The Policy Academy aims to facilitate partnerships between county or state officials, fostering collaboration for the successful implementation of behavioral health public policy practices tailored to H/L communities. Scheduled for Year 2 and Year 4 of the program, the Policy Academy underscores our commitment to driving positive change in the field of behavioral health.
