Executive order to strengthen state’s mental health services
Gov. Rick Snyder last week expanded the scope and responsibilities of the Mental Health and Wellness Commission and the Mental Health Diversion Council through Executive Order 2014-7.
Both the commission and council are chaired by Lt. Gov. Brian Calley, and were established last year by Snyder through executive orders to enhance support for mental health initiatives in Michigan.
“The Mental Health and Wellness Commission and the Mental Health Diversion Council have each done great work finding solutions to improve the education, prevention, treatment of and recovery from mental illnesses in our state,” Snyder said. “I am confident these changes will only improve upon the great work that’s already being done.”
The commission is located within the Michigan Department of Community Health. It advises the department to help strengthen the state’s mental health system.
The executive order amends EO 2013-6, which created the commission, to add additional responsibilities. It is now also tasked with reviewing and recommending solutions to overcoming transportation challenges for those with developmental disabilities, mental illnesses, and substance use disorders; supporting the expansion of the scope of the diversion council to include juvenile justice; developing transition planning for parents and children, and evaluating the policies, programs and services outlined in the commission’s report. The order also extends the sunset date of the commission to Dec. 31, 2015.
