What Is the LAC?

In 2011 the Lewis and Clark County Board of Commissioners passed Resolution 2011-174 authorizing the creation of the Behavioral Health Local Advisory Council (LAC). From this date forward, the LAC's specific objectives have maintained to include the following:

  • Provide input and recommendations to the State of Montana's Behavioral Health Oversight Advisory Council (BHOAC) and the State of Montana's State Administering Agencies (SAA).
  • Examine gaps in child and adult services and recommend solutions when gaps are identified.
  • Identify potential additions to services within Lewis and Clark County for recommendation to the County Commissioners.
  • When identified, analyze and discuss local problems experienced by Lewis and Clark County service providers, advocacy groups, public officials and the general public
  • Facilitate accurate and timely communications.
  • Assess the effectiveness of Lewis and Clark County behavioral health services and suggest ways of making services more effective.
  • When identified, serve as a catalyst and facilitator in solving Lewis and Clark County behavioral health service problems.
  • Recommend strategies for organization and coordination of behavioral health services in Lewis and Clark County, when identified.
  • Work with behavioral health providers to provide education to the Lewis and Clark County public on behavioral health issues.

Workgroups

In order to better address the public behavioral health needs of Lewis and Clark County, the LAC formed four workgroups identified in the Strategic Planning for FY21-23. Each pillar identified has a focused workgroup through 2023.

  • Workgroup 1 - Communication: Awareness/Education/Interaction
  • Workgroup 2 – Improved Future Behavioral Health (BH) Crisis Response and Continuum of Care
  • Workgroup 3 – Legislation and Policy with area expansion
  • Workgroup 4 - Data and Common Dashboard

Mission Statement

The purpose of the LAC is to assist in the improvement of Lewis and Clark County Public Health Behavioral Health (Mental Illness and Substance Use Disorders) services and to review and make recommendations about behavioral health services to the Lewis and Clark Service Area Authorities (SAA).
