\Youngkin Announces Transformational Behavioral Health Care Plan

Governor Glenn Youngkin unveiled his “Right Help, Right Now.” which is a three-year plan to transform Virginia’s behavioral health system. It encompasses crisis care, law enforcement burden, substance use disorder support, behavioral health workforce and service delivery innovation. Youngkin says the current behavioral health system is overwhelmed and failing to meet the needs of Virginians in crisis with an outdated model of care that relies too heavily on hospitals.
