We can often see when a person struggling
with mental illness is about to take a fall.
The job of practitioners is to do
what we can to catch people before they fall, rather than waiting. The legislature
passed HB 2005 during the legislative session,
making better care possible and saving lives.

The Behavioral Health Talent Council is working to create sustainable careers that support providers’ well-being and the communities they serve. The council will develop recommendations to address worker shortages, reduce turnover, build career pathways, and improve access to care across Oregon.

Oregon First Lady Aimee Kotek Wilson attends a Behavioral Health Talent Council meeting.
The Behavioral Health Talent Council, led by @firstaimee.bsky.social, is getting to work. Members are on the ground listening to rural and culturally specific providers to ensure their voices and experiences inform solutions for our state’s behavioral health workforce crisis.

As the Chair of the Behavioral Workforce Talent Council, I am excited to be on the ground listening and learning. I visited with behavioral health providers in Southern Oregon to ensure their voices and experiences as rural providers inform the work of the Behavioral Health Talent Council.
