Massachusetts S72 ensures access to behavioral health services for children involved with state agencies.

Massachusetts S72 aims to ensure access to behavioral health services for children involved with state agencies. The bill mandates the Department of Children and Families to develop a model emergency response plan for congregate care settings, focusing on both medical and behavioral health crises. It also requires the department to collect data on instances where a congregate care program denies readmission to a child after a medical or non-medical leave of absence.
