Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2010
The New Mexico behavioral health system transformation is perhaps the most ambitious transformation in progress in the United States. Impacting as many as 400,000 people, and the service systems across 121,356 square miles of urban, rural, and frontier territory, New Mexico's transformation will bring fragmented systems into a coherent whole; integrate the behavioral health services and perspectives of fifteen state agencies; bring together critical partners locally throughout communities across the State, and expand behavioral health coverage to the most isolated corners of the State. New Mexico's transformation has reached the launch point because of the effort and hard work of State leaders and staff, consumers and family members, advocates and service providers, who have labored to bring the State to this point with no additional resources, driven by the knowledge that their efforts are of vital importance to the future of New Mexico. For the critical next phases in transformation to succeed, strategic investment is needed to enhance staffing and consumer, family and provider capacity. The resources provided by the MHT SIG will provide that extra push to allow New Mexico to reach its goals and provide a blueprint for system transformation nationwide. New Mexico's major purpose in applying for this grant is to gain the infrastructure support we need to continue and expand the transformation of our statewide behavioral health system into a consumer and family-driven system of care based on recovery and resilience. New Mexico is ready to take our existing transformation activities to the next level. The foundation exists, the leadership is in place, the political will is strong, and the timing is perfect.
