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.

Medicaid Forward: Behavioral Health was created in partnership with the Well Being Trust – a national foundation dedicated to advancing the mental, social, and spiritual health of the nation – and it provides evidence-backed, sustainable policy and program solutions to improve Medicaid members’ mental health and well-being and support Medicaid programs during these unprecedented times.
