As part of Mental Health Awareness Month, Monarch hosted a virtual Lunch & Learn to provide valuable insights into 1915(i) services, which support individuals with mental health needs or developmental disabilities in accessing care and resources within their communities.

Anna Marshall, Monarch’s Vice President of Care Management for I/DD and Tailored Plan, and Leigh Daughtridge, LCSW, Vice President of Care Management for Behavioral Health, led this informative session. The presentation covers 1915(i) service options and how to access them, eligibility criteria and how the various supports can help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental illness, substance use disorder and/or traumatic brain injury.
