Michigan Partners In Crisis (PIC) Annual Winter Conference

Dec. 14, 2018, 8:30-Noon, Community Mental Health Assn., 426 S. Walnut, Lansing

 

Registration – 8:30 to 9:15; Program – 9:15 to Noon

 

I. State Parity Initiatives & News from across the Country

The federal parity law of 2008 is difficult to interpret, monitor and enforce. What are other states (e.g., Illinois, New Jersey) doing to improve behavioral health insurance parity for their residents? What is happening in the courts re alleged violations of the law? What can Michigan do to make parity more reachable?

 

Presenter: David Lloyd, Director of Policy & Programs, The Kennedy Forum

 

II. The Michigan Legislative Corrections Ombudsman Program, 2008-18

After closure during the Engler administration, this program was reestablished, with a major push from PIC, in 2008. What has this office tackled and experienced in the past decade? What are the major problems for inmates & families encountered by the Ombudsman, and how have they been dealt with? Where does mental illness fit into the mix? What systemic issues have been noted, and what are recommendations for improving them?

 

III. Progress on PIC’s 2018 Initiatives

Presenter: Mark Reinstein, PIC Advisory Board Member
