The funding is a part of a $240 million White House initiative aimed at launching and expanding the mental health and substance use services to more than 400 community centers nationwide. 

Ten of those community health centers are in Missouri, the report said.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
