The Consolidated Local Service Plan outlines service planning requirements for local mental health and behavioral health authorities for fiscal year 2025. It is structured around local services and needs, a psychiatric emergency plan, and plans for system development, with a strong emphasis on jail diversion and crisis response. The plan addresses critical gaps and goals from the Texas Statewide Behavioral Health Plan, aiming to enhance access to services, improve inter-agency coordination, develop the behavioral health workforce, and utilize data effectively to improve behavioral health outcomes across the state.
