Michigan Business Beat | Michigan Residents Share Mental Health Services At Risk from Senate Bills

Jeffrey Mosher welcomes back Robert Sheehan CEO of the Community Mental Health Association of Michigan, Lansing, Mich. Their discussion covered public mental health and how it impacts our community -- especially in light of Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey introduced two bills – Senate Bills 597 & 598, which attempt to reboot our community’s mental health system. What does this mean for our community? What would happen if these bills passed into law? How would it affect our Michigan residents? Some people are saying these bills will improve our state’s public mental health system. What’s your perspective? Anything else you’d like to add? Where can people go to learn more about this?
