About BHECON
The Behavioral Health + Economics Network is a vehicle for uniting diverse stakeholders to strengthen state behavioral health delivery systems. Led by the National Council along with its state association partners, BHECON optimizes public visibility through state forums and educational advocacy events, and uniting diverse groups in data‐driven dialogue around educational advocacy.
The National Council initiated BHECON in 2016 and has since engaged twelve states in investing in a strong behavioral health safety net. This year, BHECON is focusing its efforts on addressing the intersection of behavioral health and criminal justice from a five-step approach: 1) Prevention from Entering the System, 2) Pre-Entry, 3) In the System, 4) Re-Entry, and 5) Preventing Recidivism.
In 2022-2023, the National Council is continuing BHECON with states' efforts and is soliciting applications from its state association partners and members to participate in the next iteration of this initiative. BHECON activities will be generously supported this year by Otsuka and Johnson & Johnson.
