Front Door
Q: Is the “front door” the only way that people can enter the behavioral health system?
A: No. The “front door” is designed to serve as a streamlined and accessible way to connect people to the appropriate clinical assessment and treatment when they may not otherwise know where to turn.
Q: What kind of assistance will the “front door” provide?
A: An individual or their loved one can call or “chat” through a centralized, single phone number/website. A staff person will answer the call/chat and will gather information to help determine what help is indicated; a brief clinical assessment may be conducted when appropriate. The front door staff then will help the caller navigate and connect to the appropriate next steps, which may include referral to a Community Behavioral Health Center (CBHC) or other outpatient provider, referral to mobile crisis intervention, or connection to other behavioral health services.

The state got almost 104,000 doses of the vaccine two weeks ago but only 12,300 doses last week. Baker said his understanding was that the manufacturing error at a Baltimore plant was behind the reduced number of Johnson and Johnson doses, and that he would know more about incoming doses tomorrow.
