Healthcare reform is truly exciting for mental health. Finally, mental health is recognized as a health condition and is to be included in basic healthcare benefit packages.

Now that mental health is on the inside, what happens next? What healthcare reform means for mental health can be very difficult to decipher. I have found a couple of sources for excellent information - information about mental health and healthcare reform that is explained clearly and simply:

• The College for Behavioral Health Leadership offers free monthly webinars over the next year. The webinars are archived in case you miss one.
• The National Council of Community Behavioral Healthcare sponsors a regular blog on mental health and healthcare reform. The previous blogs are archived in case you want to go back and look at blogs you may have missed.
