Watch the recap of the March 17, 2021 installment of the National Coalition on Mental Health and Aging's (NCMHA) Webinar Series: Transforming Mental Health and Addiction Services. Following last year's National Older Adult Mental Health Awareness Day (OAMHAD) events, NCMHA developed a plan to collaborate with interested government agencies, private sector groups, and experts to maintain the momentum and recommendations generated from OAMHAD.

The March 17 webinar provides evidence-based guidance for policy makers on opportunities and challenges in health, health care, and biomedical science.

Transforming mental health and addiction services offers policy solutions that all for a reconceptualization of the behavioral health care system, prioritizing the social needs of patients and to foster greater support of the behavioral health workforce.
