WGA seeks input in support of Hawaiʻi Governor Josh Green's FY27 Chair initiative, Health Beyond Healthcare

The Western Governors’ Association (WGA) represents the Governors of the 22 westernmost states and territories.  WGA is an instrument of the Governors for bipartisan policy development, information exchange, and collective action on issues of critical importance to the West.

The initiative of Hawaiʻi Governor Josh Green will examine strategies to improve mental healthcare access and delivery, prioritize prevention and early intervention, expand coverage and affordability of mental health services and supports, and build lifelong wellbeing and community resilience.  

This survey is intended to help WGA design and execute the initiative by identifying: (1) the effects of current approaches on mental health outcomes in the West; (2) priority issues for gubernatorial leadership to consider in addressing comprehensive mental health services and resources; (3) best practices for improving mental health outcomes; (4) federal policy issues for potential WGA advocacy; and (5) individuals or organizations interested in participating in the initiative, including workshops and webinars.
