New Mexico’s courts are stepping up for behavioral health!

Local, tribal, or quasi‑government organizations in can now apply for up to $45,000 per region in each of 13 behavioral health regions to kickstart regional planning efforts under the new Behavioral Health Reform & Investment Act.

Applications are due September 30, with informational sessions happening late August and early September. Learn more here.
