The newly formed administration will hold a seat at the governor’s table, allowing mental health professionals a real chance to shape mental health policy in the state. Dr. Miller wrote that the proximity to politics afforded to the new commissioner will give them a chance to integrate mental health policies throughout numerous state departments instead of being siloed.
He stressed that the new commissioner should be a strong, innovative leader with the ability to influence culture as well as policy. He advocated for the new leader to take advantage of the unique opportunity and take a strong position fighting the state’s mental health crisis.
