WPHCA is showcasing the efforts of Community Health Centers in meeting the behavioral health needs of communities across Wisconsin with a new issue brief. The report provides data on the unmet demand for behavioral health services for various populations and how Community Health Centers are responding to address this growing crisis. Strategies include integrating behavioral health in primary care services, deploying school-based models, telehealth, and more.
