System Transformation Initiative
Virginia is currently undertaking the System
Transformation Initiative for individuals with mental retardation,
developmental disabilities, or mental illness.
It is designed to
enhance community-based care for these citizens and at the same
time make some overdue investments in the infrastructure of state
facilities. The initiative represents the opportunity for a historic step
forward for Virginia.
More
information is available on the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation,
and Substance Abuse Services Web site.
