New Guidebook Available
SAMHSA released the Expanding Access to and Use of Behavioral Health Services for People at Risk for or Experiencing Homelessness guidebook.
The guidebook highlights strategies for behavioral health and housing providers to conduct outreach and engage with individuals experiencing homelessness, initiate behavioral health treatment as they wait to receive stable housing, and retain them in their recovery efforts once housed.
The SAMHSA Mental Health Technology Center (MHTTC) Network will host a publication webinar on February 2, 2023, at 2:00 PM EST highlighting findings from the guidebook.
