Medicaid is an important source of funding for school mental health services. In the U.S., approximately 75% of school-aged children who receive mental health services access them in school. Medicaid policy outlines specific school mental health services that can be billed and who is eligible to bill for them. As these policies evolve, they create new opportunities to enhance and support school mental health systems and services. Over the past four years, the SMHTTC team has disseminated resources supporting school mental health services and programs. This infographic provides an overview of resources related to Medicaid and Medicaid policy.

About this Resource: Approximately 22 million individuals identifying as Asian American reside in the United States, representing origins from over 20 countries across the Asian continent. It is important to understand that while “Asian” is used as a general race identifier, there are several ethnicities that comprise this identity, each of which sustain several unique, cultural ideologies and values that need to be accounted for in terms of ‘why’ mental health problems are experienced between ethnicities. This report examines the current state of mental health among Asian-Americans, including utilization of care, barriers to care, and potential directions for advancing mental health equity for this population.

About this Resource:  Region IV is the largest HHS region, comprised of eight states and 26% of the U.S. population. These states have large rural populations, high poverty rates, and face racial and cultural disparities in care. In addition, the Southeast states have considerable clinical, geographic, workforce, and health system differences that often impact access to care.   These factors are important considerations when planning mental health care and support services as well as identifying the availability of other potential community resources that could temporarily fill gaps in care if needed. The Southeast MHTTC Data Visualization Project provides information on Region IV priorities in an easy to understand graphical format. Click on the "View Resource" button to access this map and learn more about the availability of community pharmacies. Community Pharmacy Locations Relevant Factors: Location of community pharmacies, availability of additional health services (i.e., walk-in clinic), and distance to local community mental health facility. Helpful Tips: To view each map in this visualization series, scroll using the gray scroller bar or gray arrows. You may also click on each of the gray boxes (or tabs).
