  • To address the growing needs of the aging population within the mental health system.

Main Methods:

  • Policy brief synthesizing recent study findings.
  • Analysis of state planning documents.
  • Comprehensive review of relevant literature.

Main Results:

  • Significant gaps and deficiencies identified in the behavioral health workforce serving older adults.
  • Funding from MHSA has not adequately addressed workforce shortages and training needs.
