With funding from the Delta Center for a Thriving Safety Net, Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI) decided to explore the feasibility and interest for a behavioral health state association, which would serve as a formalized coordinating body and create a mechanism for members to advocate for a robust, fully-resourced behavioral health system that meets the needs of all people. In the video below, Shelina Davis, Chief Executive Officer of LHPI, and Taslim van Hattum, Chief Program Officer of LPHI, share the story of how they laid the groundwork for a behavioral health state association in Louisiana.
