Montgomery County officials announced they will invest $18 million on an emergency behavioral health crisis center to help residents and families experiencing mental health emergencies. The county picked Connections Health Solutions LLC, a venture-capital-backed Arizona company, to operate the 24/7 center, which will function as a mental health emergency department. Funding for the facility will come from American Rescue Plan Act funds earmarked for mental health services, portions of the county’s opioid settlement funds and other sources, officials said. It is expected to open in fall 2025, though the location has not yet been selected. Read more in the Montgomery County press release.
