Megan West will provide an overview of the Utah Behavioral Health Commission, legislative work completed during the 2026 session, committee work currently underway, and how individuals can get involved.
The Utah Legislature created the Commission in 2024 as the central authority for coordinating behavioral health initiatives across the state. In 2025, the Commission developed a strategic plan to implement the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute’s Behavioral Health Master Plan, focusing on prevention, crisis response, treatment access, and recovery services.
