How Minnesota Leveraged Group Therapy to Save Medicaid Dollars While Significantly Improving Outcomes
In mental health treatment it is no secret that we face a workforce crisis. The addition of new, and
the replacement of retiring, mental health professionals is falling behind the explosive growth in
need for mental health service supports. Group therapy interventions that are focused on change
rather than simple support are a potential workforce multiplier with the efficiency of multiple clients
served at one time.
