Statement: Supervisor Fletcher Responds to Grand Jury Report on Psychiatric Services’ Needs

Behavioral Health is my highest priority and today’s Grand Jury report accurately identifies the need for greater commitment to our regional behavioral health system. I am grateful for their acknowledgement of the County’s increased leadership and investment in behavioral health. As a region, we have more work to do. We will only make substantive progress if all stakeholders step-up, hold bad actors accountable and come together to develop a coordinated, integrated and measurable behavioral health strategy that meets the needs of our community.
