This office hour gave participants an opportunity to ask questions related to the four part webinar series on how to collect data, analyze data, and use data to inform service delivery.

The small business initiative partners provided  in-person workshops for adult BH HCBS providers on how to get HCBS services off the ground. The trainings reviewed the Toolkit developed by ICL, a MCTAC partner, and helped providers adapt its content to suit their needs. We discussed tips to help with adult BH HCBS implementation, how to create a strong HCBS team of staff, and how to invest in your future with HCBS services.
