Medicaid Forward: Behavioral Health identifies opportunities for action to address immediate and long-term mental health and substance abuse challenges emerging from the COVID crisis across communities, including for children, older adults, those with mental health and addiction diagnosis, individuals transitioning from prison, and those living with developmental or intellectual disabilities.

This webinar orients Medicaid leaders and the Medicaid policy community to the NAMD resource, Medicaid Forward: Behavioral Health. This resource is the first in a three-part series that explores how Medicaid can support the nation’s recovery from the pandemic.
