US Department of Justice Meetings on Montana's Children's Behavioral Health System
September 5, 2025
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is looking into what barriers Montana’s children with behavioral health conditions—and their families—face when trying to access mental health services in their communities.
The DOJ will be holding community meetings across Montana to hear from:
young people
families
service providers
other community members
Virtual/phone options are also available for individuals who want to join remotely.
