This Study Group will be online.
Washtenaw County Community Mental Health (WCCMH) had a deficit of $10.3 million in 2019. This study group will start with a discussion of local mental health services and funding issues and then broaden to current and proposed state and federal policies as the actions of each level of government affect the others.
A County Commissioner and an expert from WCCMH will each lead one session. The format will be brief presentations followed by discussions. Instructor Glenn Nelson's past positions include the President's Council of Economic Advisers and Chief Economist of the State of Minnesota. He and the study group's assistant, Alice Carter, are co-chairs of Citizens for Mental Health & Public Safety.
The Study Group meets on Thursdays Oct. 1 to Oct. 22 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access this Study Group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.
