News on co-response legislation, plus AWC member testimony

Co-response is critical for addressing the growing behavioral health needs in our communities. We spoke with AWC Government Relations Advocate Lindsey Hueer about this session’s co-response bills, particularly liability protection for co-responders in HB 2088, and training access, standardization of training, and grants for small and rural agencies in HB 2245. We are also pleased to share some of the great testimony on these bills from AWC member cities.
