Layoffs could be coming for mental health services

As a way to deal with budget cuts, the state may have to lay off 136 workers at mental health institutions and cut 45 beds for children at Independence Mental Health Institute. Another option is to shut down the substance abuse treatment program and lay off workers at Mount Pleasant Mental Health Institute. There are several moving parts with various options, but it looks like final decisions will come in the next few days.
