💡 What are your thoughts on the new behavioral health districts in Iowa? 💡 Iowa’s health department has announced the boundaries for seven new behavioral health districts, aiming to make mental health and substance use treatment more accessible for everyone in the state. This change follows a new law designed to merge existing service regions for better integration and coordination. 👏 Why This Matters: - Integrated Services: Combining mental health and substance use treatment services. - Equitable Access: Ensuring everyone in Iowa can access the care they need, no matter where they are. - Stakeholder Involvement: Over 1,000 service providers, advocates, and individuals participated in feedback sessions to shape this initiative. 🗺️ The new districts are set to improve service delivery and coordination, with full implementation expected by July 1, 2025. 💬 Join the Conversation!

Peers, trained behavioral health experts who also have firsthand experience with mental health or substance use recovery, are critical to helping community members feel supported and understood.
